Thank you! Could not find that little slot until your post.My initial information was wrong. I found the reference in the S650 Manual, printed page 282:

Doesn't Ford equip or provide a front license plate bracket when vehicles are sold in states that require front license plates? If so, why would they need to provide you with a tow hook?Front plate on dash is illegal in most states ..so it doesn’t make sense should have just installed tow hook for all models
Now my only question is "what is a suitable tool"? I have some plastic panel removal tools, but not sure if one of those will fit in what looks like a very small slot in that picture.My initial information was wrong. I found the reference in the S650 Manual, printed page 282:

Typically, the answer would be: Anything that is softer than the bumper cover. I use trim tools.Now my only question is "what is a suitable tool"? I have some plastic panel removal tools, but not sure if one of those will fit in what looks like a very small slot in that picture.
