How many car keys are usually provided when purchasing a car?

When purchasing a car, two keys are usually provided: one is the master key, and the other is a spare key. The car key set consists of a key and a metal or plastic tag. On this metal or plastic tag, there is usually a series of numbers printed, which is the key's tooth shape code. When a car key is lost, service stations or manufacturers can use this tooth shape code to reconfigure a new key for the owner. Different car models have different key functions. Taking the Shanghai Volkswagen Santana as an example, the Santana comes with three keys. They look similar in appearance, but in reality, only one is a spare key that can unlock the doors and start the engine.
