Default Hanging tube behind grill?

Hi everyone, I was looking my car over today after getting it back from the body shop and I noticed this tube hanging in front of the radiator. Not sure if it's out of place, but I never noticed it before. It seems to come out of the upper left area and goes through a hole in the shock absorber foam into something right behind the jag emblem. Please see photos. I'd appreciate if anyone could take a look at their own f-type to see where this tube should be or if it's supposed to be hanging. My car is a 2016 F-type R. Thank you for the help!

I don't see that in my '14, though it's hard to see in there. However, my hard foam insulation does have that vertical tab with an empty hole, so I suspect you have an option that I don't have - front parking sensors, adaptive cruise (if that's available), etc.

Could that be the fluid line to the headlight washers?

I don’t think so, as I don’t seem to have it. It’s clearly supposed to go through the hole in the insulation.

I just checked and I do have the hole, but nothing going through it. I have headlight washers and proximity sensors, but not that tube.

That tube should be routed above the grille opening and is indeed the hose for the headlamp washer. Again, please create a signature block with your specific year/model/body/drivetrain. There are potential variations among these parameter which will help us answer questions.

Thanks for the replies everyone, I'm headed to the dealership tomorrow and I'll have them take a look. I don't think my car has any special packages so iIhave no idea what that tube is for. However, I do feel another headlight washer fluid tube that's tucked above the grill.
