If this is an electronic switch then it is usually so you can not start the vehicle without depressing the clutch. Hyundi Excels have them as well.

Basicaly it stops you from cranking the car while its in gear.

It may or may not work in the zook in Aus but its prob fitted to all vehicles but only hooked up for certain countries.

it is part of the emission control system ,when you depress the clutch it is supossed to trigger the solonoid on the front of the carb to stop the car popping or idle ing to low between shifts ,controlled byy that little black box behind the glove box

Well there you go. I beleive this is quite possibly exactly what this switch would be for.
