What’s this key in cup holder?

Was cleaning out my car and pulled the cup holder inserts out to wash them off and noticed this embroidered key logo?

It's the passive key location for if your FOB battery goes dead.

If your fob has a dead or no battery it will start the truck, remove the rubber bottom in the cup holder and set the fob on that spot. My wife's Fusion has the same setup.

that only works with push button start?

I’m not sure if it’s ONLY for push-button starts (which I have so it’s on mine), but I actually tried to lift that rubber awhile ago and I guess my nails are too short to raise it. ….

… gee, you’d think I had a tailgate damper with that comment…

Yes.

How would that be possible with a regular key?

Also, I keep a package of FOB batteries in the glove box. Started doing that on my wife's Mazda and continued.

I don’t have a push button start, I assume they use the same panel for non push start. Thanks for the info guys.

It is also where the fob needs to be placed to program a new one to the truck, found that out when I added a third one.
