There is a protruding small round button on the dashboard. Press and hold this button for a while to reset the trip mileage to zero. Remove the dashboard cover, take off the needles for speed, fuel gauge, water temperature, RPM, etc., then use a flathead screwdriver to adjust the mileage gear - you can roll back or reset it to zero.

When I drove a Volvo before, resetting the trip odometer was quite straightforward. First, make sure the car is started or in the power-on state so the dashboard is functional. Then locate the control buttons on the steering wheel, usually there's an 'OK' button or a trip switch button. Press it to switch to the trip odometer display area, and hold down the reset button for about three seconds until you hear a beep or see the numbers jump back to zero, and you're done. For newer models like the XC40, the operation might be in the central touchscreen menu, with a similar method but a different path. This feature is super handy—for example, resetting it every time you refuel allows you to calculate fuel consumption accurately, and it's also convenient for marking segments of a journey. It's recommended to do this only when parked, as distraction while driving is dangerous. The operation might vary slightly for different model years, so consulting the owner's manual is the safest bet, but most Volvos follow this procedure.

As a car enthusiast, I've studied trip meter reset procedures. Volvo models feature an intuitive system design: after starting the vehicle, use the steering wheel multifunction buttons to navigate to the trip information display. Locate the trip meter and hold the reset button for approximately three seconds to zero it out. Older mechanical instrument clusters use physical buttons, while newer digital displays like the S90 operate through menu options. Safety first - always perform this operation on level ground to prevent accidental inputs. This trip function also helps analyze driving efficiency; resetting before long journeys to record individual trips proves valuable for habit optimization. If buttons don't respond, check for operational errors or system setting issues. Overall, it's a thoughtful design with user-friendly operation.

Resetting the trip meter in a Volvo is super easy. After starting the car, use the steering wheel buttons to navigate to the trip display. When you see the trip meter reading, press and hold the reset button for a few seconds until it zeros out. Make sure to do this when the car is stationary - don't mess with it while driving. This feature is really handy, especially for tracking distances during highway driving.
