How do you turn off "Time for Regular Maintenance" message that pops up every time I start the car?
I had an oil change only a couple of months ago and haven't driven much, so I want to wait another couple of months before the next regular maintenance.
The Volvo service station says they can turn the message off if I bring my car in, but I don't want to travel to the station just to do that.
Is there any way to turn the message off?

Resetting the service reminder indicator (SRI)

The service reminder indicator (SRI) informs the driver that it is time for the car to be serviced. The lamp remains lit for 120 seconds when the ignition is switched on. Note! If the lamp flashes, it may be because one of the service parameters has not been programmed.

* Ignition position I

Berndy, time to google "reset service light volvo s80 2009". OK on second thought, don't bother... just use this link

How To Service Light Reset in Volvo S80, V70, XC70 (2006 on)

 

The directions worked well. Just be careful to hole trip odometer long enough but not too long. Took me 2 tries .
Thank you.

 

These directions works well for a 2010 XC90, in addition watch for yellow warning triangle in the center of the instrument panel display.
