The valet key provided for the Acura MDX is specifically designed to only lock the glove compartment and cannot be used to start the vehicle. The primary ignition system for your SUV is a push-button start setup, meaning there is no key insertion required to turn on the vehicle. The valet key serves as a separate key that you can hold onto when giving your key fob to a valet or someone servicing your car. You have the option to lock the glove compartment, providing a secure place to store valuables without concern of theft when you are not near your vehicle.
