something weird is going on with my phone.?

i have a regular verizon flip phone. i turned it on this morning and beneath my banner it says "car kit". none of the sound works. whenever i go to a sound option it says that sound is not enabled in car kit mode. does anyone know how to turn car kit mode off? no, i can't go to the store and ask for help so don't tell me to.
