Unknown switch in center console ...
When I open the center console there is a big selector switch in the front of the bottom section with positions "0" and "1".
I looked through the manual but I have no idea what this does.
I am sure it is something obvious but I can't work it out.
Can someone please enlighten me?

You should find it from the user manual. The switch controls air flow to the centre console compartment. If you want it to be cooled in the summer, put it to open position (1). Good for storing soft drinks or so.
Setting the stowage compartment air vent
The stowage compartment can be ventilated, for instance to cool its contents, when the automatic air-conditioning system is activated. The level of airflow depends on the airflow and air distribution settings. The temperature of the air is approximately the same as that of the air flowing from the centre air vents.
Close the stowage compartment air vent when heating mode is activated and activate the "cooling with air dehumidification" function if the outside temperature is high. Otherwise, temperature-sensitive items stored in the stowage compartment could be damaged.

You have the S600 with all options, including the independent rear heating (don't remember how it is called). The heater core would take the storage space. But we can always swap cars if you want that feature.
