It's the reset button for Microsoft Mazda3.
If your Mazda 3 crashes and you get a blue screen, you press that button to reset it and reboot it.

Good find btw, SP33D. I never noticed that circle thingy.
Hmm, it could be place for wire of block heater?
At least here in northern Europe we use block
heater in winter time. Shortly: You can heat
the motor with electricity and engine get it's
normal temperature more quickly and of course
it also saves the engine when there is -20 degrees
of celsius outside

Second quess is that circle can be the place for draw hook.
At least in my current car there is place in bumper where
you can attach an adapter for draw hook.

A new take on it:
It can be the auto lights sensor I was saying but that should be glass/clear plastic covered to get the light info, right?
Now this could also be a towing hook like they have on the Golf where you remove a piece next to the headlight and underneath you have a hook. Most cars have this underneath, but you never know...

Redeemer, here in Canada we oftenly gen -25 Celcius and worse, when there is wind (which does affect the engine), it can reach under -40! When I wake, I just place the key in, and the engine starts!
Note that I have NO block heater.. The 3 will have one.

Heh
We have also -30 or more sometimes but usually it keeps between -20 - -25 in January - February.
Of course here are some cars without heater but probably 95% of them have this block heater. It's so nice to use it when motor get it's normal temperature much faster than without it. Also "cabin" gets +20 degrees much faster when engine is already warm.
Some studies has said that starting engine in -25 degrees uses engine as much than driving 1000kms in normal circumstances.
