I can't see anything shown at the clutch in any official diagrams and nothing on the pedal bracket except for the brake switch.

That may explain why I can't find it. Is it possibly integrated with the master cylinder? Asking because sometimes the car isn't recognising I'm pressing the clutch.

Yes on some vehicles depending on options it may be integrated into the cylinder - I did check and there wasn't anything obvious surrounding it that I could see regarding a switch.

My C3 Aircross does not have a separate clutch switch - but does have Stop Start and Hands Free Access and Starting so have to depress clutch before it will start.

As you can see there is an option on mine for it circled in red below, but with my options it is not fitted / needed:

Your Clutch Master Cylinder is shown below and has no option for it on any version of this model:

Nice picture here: Neo Brothers

Looks to be electrical connection on the engine side above the pipe connection. Failure of the master cylinder on these is common, I imagine reduced travel might be one of the first symptoms!

That's it then Richard - integrated, probably similar to mine.
