Well, it's _called_ an accelerometer.  It's actually a mercury switch.
 
They were first fitted to the Sport quattro (in transverse orientation) and 
they showed up in the ur-quattro/200/5000 in 1988/9.  It's a small black 
object mounted under the rear seat, with a prominent arrow pointing in the 
(usual) direction of travel.
