How do you reset this message on an 02 S80? Is it the same as the S60 posts say?

I think it is. All the instructions I've seen are for MY (model year) 2002 and it doesn't specify which model. Give it a try and see.

Read the instructions and tried on my 2003 C70, it worked just as explained. Many thanks. Mikeses

Please add my THANKS for posting this fix. After 2 years of this annoying message I tried this procedure and it worked! The nearest Volvo dealer is 4 hours away so the car is serviced locally in our very small and rural town. Our auto shop doesn't have the gadget for resetting, so knowing how to do it myself is fantastic!

On our 2005 Volvo S60, the following worked:

To reset the "time for regular service" message, the steps are:
- turn the ignition key to position I
- then press and hold the odometer reset button
- turn the key to position II
- hold the odometer reset button until the triangle flashes
- quickly release the reset button and then turn the key to the off position.

Note that the odometer was **already at zero** and it worked anyway for me.

Thanks for your help!

- turn the ignition key to position 1
- then press and hold the tripometer reset button
- don't wait, turn the key to position 2.
- hold the button untill the service light flashes 2 times, or the trip mileage changes from 1 to 2 or 2 to1, or the triangle flashes.
- quickly release the reset button and then turn the key to the off position.

FYI...this worked for a 2008 S60 also. Thanks. That service message was driving me crazy.
