Whichever has fuel
You need to fix the car mate. You know that yeah?
You don't just turn the light off and the problem goes away, this isn't Harry Potter.
Wait, what?! Damn, there goes that plan.
Seriously though, I know. On my 182 I fitted a decat, which caused the engine light to come on, even when the original cat went back in, it remained. I never got round to it, but I was told it just needed turning off and because the original cat was back in, it wouldn't return.
I think the previous owner had a decat at some point, so for now the plan was to knock the engine light off and see if it comes back.
The airbag light is almost certainly because there's been some dodgy wiring done under the seat, by someone before I owned the car. Again, the plan was to fix the wiring, knock off the lights and see if they come back, as part of the diagnostic process.
Shame I can't just wave a wand at it though...

If it's had a decat on and not been mapped it will bring on the engine light probable p0420 cat efficiency as the cats not been working as there ain't one lol a cheap code reader of eBay will clear this if you have put the cat back if not it will just come back on that's if this is the fault either way you'll be able to read the codes and go from there
as for the air bag the connections on airbag systems are very very sensitive to any voltage changes no mater how small it can often be as simple as moving the seat and it pulling the wire slightly bringing the light on clios are very common for this so I'd start with the yellow plugs under both front seats with the ignition off pull them appart and slightly bend the contacts so they are a tighter fit in the plug and put them back together if you luck this will do it and the light should go out hope this helps
