It's the "European only" outlet for accessories. All '74-'84 Westfalias have
this. I have an accessory spare tire air compressor which plugs into here, and
it has a male plug made by Hella.  I have also seen a accessory cigarette
lighter that fits this outlet too, the plug also made by Hella. I have been told
that you can get the male plugs from Hella, and wire any accessory to the plug.
