In an Acura MDX, the wheel lock key can be found in the car's trunk near the spare tire. This key is crucial for preventing your vehicle from being stolen, as newer cars are equipped with locking lug nuts on each wheel. These nuts have a unique design that requires a key to unlock them when removing the wheels. Over time, the wheel lock key may wear out from frequent use. If you find yourself unable to remove the wheel locks with your tools, you have the option to contact a mechanic for assistance or visit your dealership to have the locks removed and receive a spare wheel.
You can find the wheel lock key for the 2018 Acura MDX in the trunk area next to the spare tire.
My key is in a small black bag along with an extra lug nut, stored in the glove compartment. I'm not sure if the key was placed there by the dealer or the factory.
Acuras are not equipped with a spare tire; instead, they come with a compact air pump that is prefilled with a fix-a-flat solution.
