S80: General Maintenance required warning message

[Big Swede]

Thank you for the instructions on how to reset the "maintenance required" light after a non franchised garage service. I tried it and it works.

Well done and thanks again,

Big Swede.

for the new 2008 volvo xc70 with the push button start [just turned my light off tonight after hitting 14,000 miles]

1. start the car. the time for regular maintenance light will appear.
2. press the button to shut the car off, the time for regular maintenance light should still be on the screen.
3. breifly press the start/stop button, the dashboard will become brighter and the service light will still be on. [you are now in position I]
4. press the odometer button first then quickly press and hold the start stop button until all the idiot lights appear, when this occurs you can release the start stop button.
5. while still holding the odometer button wait until the orange Information icon flashes, when this occurs release the odometer button and you will here an audible signal that the reset has occured.

on both vehicles your radio station presets will be lost after this reset so if you have any stations you like write them down before hand.

1. Make sure to start with the T1 millage showing on the trip meter. (Not T2)
2. Press the ignition button once with your foot off the brake. The car will not start.
3. Press and hold the trip reset button.
4. While holding it press and hold briefly the ignition button again so that the run position is selected, again with your foot off the brake.
5. Release ignition button, while continuing to hold the trip reset
6. When the "i" begins to flash, release the trip reset.
7. Done

I just did this method on my 2009 XC70 T6. Only difference is that I had to keep pressing the ignition button for 5-6 seconds while holding the trip reset in order to get the "i" to flash. Works well and did not reset radio station or other settings. Thanks to all for the great info on this forum.

Hi all, Just to confirm that these instructions for the rest submitted by Groom.R work. I have just used them to reset my car.

Just used this method with success on my 2007 S80.
The maintenance overdue message came on unexpectedly.
Many thanks

First post here - I found this forum looking for a solution to this problem!

The second procedure in GROOM.R's post worked on my 2010 US S80 - Thanks! It did not blank my radio but did set T1 back to "0".

Just for background, I had my car in for a factory servicing around 14,750 and I got the warrning at 15,500. I guess they did not relaize it would alert after the service.

FWIW

Hi Groom R post worked for me. The second option worked but only after I tried it in "T2"
Thanks GroomR

Hi,

I now have this damn annoying message. Like I don't know when to get my car into the garage for a service??!!

The processes mentioned here didn't seem to work so will try this one:

1. Make sure to start with the T1 or T2 trip mileage showing.
2. With your foot OFF the brake and the electronic key inserted into its slot, press and release the ignition (start/stop) button. The car will not start, but the displays will be activated.
3. Press and hold the trip reset button.
4. With your foot OFF the brake, while holding the reset button down, press and hold the ignition button until the yellow "i" in the yellow square at the bottom center of the instrument display begins to flash, release both buttons.
5. With your foot ON the brake, start the engine and after a few moments, turn it off. If you got it right, the “time for maintenance” message should not reappear when the motor stops.

Hi,

S80 57 plate
The above worked.

It was holding BOTH the trip reset AND start until the [i] light [lower centre of console] flashed and then got the confirmation beep that actually worked for me..
