How to Reset Volvo Service Light?
3 Answers
Here are the 3 steps to reset Volvo service light: 1. Turn off the ignition switch. 2. While turning on the ignition switch, press and hold the odometer hour reset button. After ignition is completed, the reminder message will still be displayed. 3. Within 30 seconds, press and hold the odometer hour reset button for about 3 seconds, and the reminder message will be completely cleared. Here is more information about Volvo: 1. Configuration: Volvo is equipped with auto-dimming rearview mirror, keyless entry, automatic parking, power seats, front and rear seat heating, panoramic sunroof, rear manual sunshade, and four-zone air conditioning. 2. Suspension: Volvo's front suspension type is double-wishbone independent suspension, and the rear suspension type is multi-link independent suspension.
Last time I took my Volvo for maintenance, I encountered this issue. The 2017 XC60 is particularly interesting to deal with—you need to first turn off the engine and switch the dashboard to the mileage interface, then press and hold the button on top of the turn signal stalk, followed by turning the key to power on until you see the exclamation mark flash twice before releasing. Just make sure not to perform this operation while driving—safety first. Now, after every maintenance, I casually clear the light myself, since going to the dealership specifically for this would mean waiting in line. Oh, and remember to unlock the infotainment screen before operating, as methods may vary slightly across different model years. For specifics, you can always refer to the vehicle manual.
As a veteran driver who has owned three Volvos, resetting the maintenance light is no challenge for me. For earlier models, you need to press both the brake and accelerator pedals simultaneously, then press the start button to enter service mode. The newer touchscreen versions allow you to simply select 'Reset' in the vehicle status menu. The latest S90 makes it even easier—just use the buttons on the left side of the steering wheel. However, I must remind everyone to double-check that the maintenance has indeed been completed before resetting the light. My neighbor once reset the light but forgot to change the oil, which later caused engine problems and cost him nearly ten thousand in repairs.
