To reset the maintenance light on a Volvo XC90, press the "RESET" button. Below are the detailed steps for resetting the maintenance light on a Volvo XC90: 1. Turn off the ignition switch, i.e., turn off the engine. 2. Press and hold the "RESET" button at the top of the turn signal lever without releasing it. 3. Without pressing the brake, lightly press the ignition switch once, then press and hold the ignition switch without releasing it. 4. Wait until the yellow exclamation mark indicator on the dashboard flashes three times, then release the "RESET" button and the ignition switch. 5. The reset is now complete.
I've driven several Volvos, and resetting the maintenance light on the XC90 isn't actually difficult, but you need to pay attention to the details. After turning off the engine, hold down the start button to power on the vehicle without starting it, then press the menu button on the left side of the steering wheel to enter the vehicle settings interface. Find the service option and select it. Don’t rush to press randomly—when you see the 'Reset Maintenance Info' option, use the scroll wheel to select it and then hold the confirm button for about three seconds. After resetting, the yellow wrench symbol on the dashboard will disappear. One thing I’d like to remind you: before resetting, make sure the maintenance has actually been done, otherwise it will affect the accuracy of the next reminder. While driving, keep an eye out—if this light comes on, it’s time to take the car in for inspection. Don’t delay too long.
Last time I helped my colleague reset the maintenance light on his XC90, I noticed the specific steps vary slightly depending on the model year. The general approach is to power on the vehicle without starting the engine, then use the multifunction steering wheel or center console screen to access the service menu. Typically, you need to press the menu button six times consecutively to enter the hidden settings interface, then locate the maintenance data reset option and hold the confirm button. After completing the process, it's best to start the engine for a test drive to check if the light has turned off. By the way, this maintenance reminder is quite reliable as it's calculated based on actual mileage and oil condition. I recommend following the prompt for maintenance instead of resetting it blindly to save money.
