If you have a gen II it's the self destruct switch for the transmission.
(not starting a flame war, just being a smart ass)

For Gen I it's what causes parts to appear on your ft porch and your wallet to spontaneously empty.

Also, Those slots are the man-card dispensers. When you jump they come out like skee-ball, one for each passenger.

You might consider page 378 in your F-150 Owner's Manual. It says, "The spare tire is located under the vehicle, just forward of the rear bumper. 1. Use your key to remove the lock cylinder from the access hole of the bumper to allow access to the guide tube."
