2008 V70 - how to reset Service Reminder Indicator?
2008 V70 - how to reset Service Reminder Indicator?
After changing the oil in my 2008 V70, I did not find the "secret" to reset the Service Reminder Indicator. I read the earlier post https://www.matthewsvolvosite.com/reset-service-light-volvo-850-s70-v70-c70-xc70/ but apparently was not adept enough to translate the instructions to work on my 2008 where there is no "key" or ignition switch. Ideas?
Have not tried this but this is what I have been told:
Resetting the service reminder indicator (SRI)
Note: All doors, hood and trunk are required to be closed in order to perform this procedure successfully.
Note: Please refer to Description of the Ignition Modes (Ignition Switch Positions - below) for additional information on Ignition Modes (Ignition Switch Positions)
Carry out the following procedure to reset the service reminder indicator:
•Ignition switch position I.
•Press and hold the trip odometer reset button.
•Ignition switch position II.
•Wait for 10 seconds.
•Release the reset button when the information lamp starts to flash.
The instrument beeps when resetting has been successful.
IGNITION MODES (Ignition Switch Positions)
Ignition mode 0
Insert the remote key in the ignition slot.
Ignition mode I
Press the remote key into the ignition slot and press START/STOP ENGINE.
Ignition mode II
Press the remote key into the ignition slot and press START/STOP ENGINE for approx. 2 seconds.
Ignition mode III (engine start)
Start the engine
1.Fasten the seat belt.
WARNING: Before starting the engine, check that the seat, steering wheel and mirrors are adjusted properly. Make sure the brake pedal can be depressed completely. Adjust the seat if necessary.
2.Insert the remote key into the ignition slot. Press the key until it is drawn into the slot ¤.
NOTE: The remote key should be inserted into the ignition slot with the key blade end of the remote pointing out and the key pad facing up.
3.Depress the brake pedal ¡.
WARNING: An extra mat on the driver's floor can cause the accelerator and/or brake pedal to catch. Check that the movement of these pedals is not impeded. Not more than one protective floor covering may be used at one time.
4.Press and release the START/STOP ENGINE button. The autostart function will operate the starter motor until the engine starts. The starter motor operates for a maximum of 10 seconds. If the engine has not started, repeat the procedure. ¤On vehicles with the optional keyless drive, it is only necessary to have a remote control in the passenger's compartment. ¡If the vehicle is moving, it is only necessary to press the START/STOP ENGINE button to start the vehicle.
WARNING Always remove the remote key from the ignition slot when leaving the vehicle, especially if there are children in the vehicle.
Never remove the remote key from the ignition slot while driving or when the vehicle is being towed. The steering lock could otherwise be activated, making it impossible to steer the vehicle. Never remove the remote key with keyless drive function (option) from the vehicle while driving or during towing.
Always place the gear selector in Park and apply the parking brake before leaving the vehicle. Never leave the vehicle unattended with the engine running.
Always open garage doors fully before starting the engine inside a garage to ensure adequate ventilation. The exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, which is invisible and odorless but very poisonous.
Stopping the engine
Press START/STOP ENGINE. (If the engine is running and the vehicle is moving, keep the button depressed until the engine stops).
Return to ignition mode 0
Press START/STOP ENGINE to return from I, II, or III to ignition mode 0.
