Resetting the service light on the Volvo V70 MK1.

Model: Volvo V70 MK 1 - Years 1996-2000
Part: Service warning light

To notify us to change the engine oil of the Volvo V70, the Service light appears on the right side of the instrument panel. After completing the necessary operations, we proceed to reset the light. We sit in the driver's seat of the car, turn the ignition key to position one, press and hold down the button located between the speedometer and tachometer. Turn the ignition key to position two, when the Service light starts flashing, release the button and turn off the instrument panel. Upon the next restart, the disappearance of the light will confirm that the reset has been performed correctly.
