Cars with one-button start come with two keys. Here is relevant information about the one-button start feature in cars: Functions of one-button start: No need for original car key or remote to unlock doors; automatically closes all windows when leaving the vehicle; enhances nighttime driving convenience; provides easy engine start with self-diagnostic protection for the original ignition system; includes vehicle anti-theft functionality. Functions of car keys: Automatically closes windows (windows roll up) after engine shutdown; assists in locating vehicle in parking lots; enables trunk remote opening; allows window remote control.

As a veteran driver with decades of experience who has used many push-to-start cars, I can tell you these vehicles typically come with two smart keys. When you buy a new car, the salesperson will usually give you both keys—one for your daily use and the other for family members or as a spare. If you own a high-end or imported model, you might get three keys, but standard cars usually come with just two. Also, each smart key contains a hidden mechanical key blade, so you can still use it as a regular key if the remote battery dies. I've heard of people carrying both keys for convenience, only to lose one and face a costly replacement fee of over a thousand dollars—that's a huge loss. My advice is to store the spare key in a home safe and protect it with a key cover for maximum security.
