Some guy on the assembly line wondering where his house key went...

Or maybe his locker key?

Fits an American brand padlock for what that is worth.

That shuts off the auto start/stop, simply insert it in the hidden key hole.

Unlocks rear cup holders on four door.

Probably a padlock key for a line worker‘s locker, or padlock that secured a parts bin-cage or power tool on the assembly line.

that looks like a lockout / tagout key

Are you the original owner? Could be from previous repair work done on the dash. Usually the dash assemblies come already assembled before it's put in the vehicle on the assembly line so it could've also been from someone at the plant that assembles sub components.

Came here to say that it looks just like my maintenance lockout/tagout keys.

Agreed, OEMs like to use that style of lock because the key is easier to grip with gloved hands if necessary.

Some component of OP's vehicle, either the dash or (less likely) the entire vehicle, was stopped at a portion of the assembly that needed to be locked out. When it happened someone likely dropped their key (most of these can't be removed if the lock is open) - which means they had to call security to come cut their lock off.

My brother found a gin bottle rattling around in the drivers door on his 1969 Malibu.
