You'll see it when you first start the car. Bright yellow, left side i think (don't really pay attention to that anymore ) Looks kinda like the rear defroster light...

it might be blown 9413Btt.

its right next to the airbag light (or within that cluster of 4 lights- abs,airbag,check engine, and rear defroster).

It's possible it's also disconnected. Some people have disabled it because they disabled the EGR which would throw a check engine light.

the bulb could be burned out or whoever sold you the car could have pulled it to hide something.

Not sure of European models, but all US 94's did (and most European countries are stricter than the US when it comes to emissions.)
