[XCovlov70]

Found yesterday that this works on our 2011 XC70!

Thanks JRL!

2008 XC70 maintenance message reset

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.

The instructions provided by JRL also work on the 07 XC90. I did have to try it three times but on the third try it worked. I think it was user error the first two times or it would have worked the first two times. Thanks so much!

The local Volvo dealerships refused to tell me how to reset the "Time For Regular Maintenance Light" over the phone. They said it was way too complicated and that I needed to bring it in and pay to have it reset but this worked great! Thanks again!
