It's for the tool to lower your spare tire.

From the above referenced pdf file:

 

"Open the spare tire lock cover
on the bumper and use the
ignition key to remove the spare
tire lock (10). To remove the
spare tire lock, insert the ignition
key turn and pull straight out."

Thanks guys, I tried opening the manual lastnight as I do go to it often, but I only had my tablet and it wouldn't load, so I tried searching, and couldn't find it.. I thought it would have to do with the spare tire, as that's where it looked like it was heading, but wanted to make sure. Thanks again.

Its there to prevent someone from stealing your spare tire. That's been happening a lot in certain areas.
