Little sliding panel under hood release

Does anybody know what this little "door" is for? It is directly underneath the hood release.

Mine is a 2018. I have slid it open. It seems to be just a little observation window. You can see the front of the radiator. Very strange.

If you have Honda sensing then it might have something to do with giving access to that. The H logo on the front grill pretty much lines up with that and contains the radar system or whatever.

I bet that's what it is. My car (Sport 6MT) doesn't have Honda sensing.

Interesting. I have a 2018 Sport model and it does have it, as I noted. One of life’s little mysteries.

Well I guess that if you were one of Honda's preferred customers when you bought your car you're part of the inner circle and get the secret door. If not then you're not one of the privileged few and don't get the secret door, so too bad for you!
