Resetting the service lights on your Volvo S80 is a straightforward process that helps you maintain an accurate service schedule and ensures your vehicle’s maintenance reminders stay up to date. Following Everyday Volvo's detailed instructions will make this task easy, even if you’re not a professional mechanic.

Step-by-Step Guide to Reset Service Lights on a Volvo S80

  • Switch the ignition to the “On” position without starting the engine. This powers the dashboard and onboard computer.
  • Press and hold the trip odometer reset button located on the instrument cluster.
  • While holding the button, turn the ignition off and then back on to the “On” position.
  • Continue to hold the trip reset button until the service light starts blinking or the display shows a reset confirmation.
  • Release the button. The service light should now be reset.
  • Turn off the ignition and start the engine to verify the service light is no longer displayed.

It’s important to reset the service lights only after completing the recommended maintenance work, such as oil changes or inspections. Resetting the light without servicing can lead to missed maintenance and potential vehicle issues.

Why Resetting Your Service Light Matters

Service lights act as reminders for essential maintenance tasks. By resetting them correctly, you keep your Volvo S80’s onboard computer aligned with your actual service history, helping preserve vehicle performance and resale value.
