Volvo: 2004 Volvo S60, trip odometer, service reminder


Question
Two questions.  Does the dealer have to reset the message for when it is time to service the car (oil change)?  Can this be done by the owner of the car?  Also, can you give instructions on how to change the stop lamp bulb on the 2004 Volvo S60.  thanks

Answer
Carol,
Resetting the service reminder indicator (SRI), model years 2002-

The service reminder indicator (SRI) informs the driver that it is time for the car to be serviced. The text message is displayed for 120 seconds each time the ignition is switched on.

Proceed as follows to reset the service reminder indicator (SRI):



Ignition position I
Press and hold in the reset button for the trip odometer
Ignition position II.
Note!  Turn the key to position II within 2 seconds.

Hold the reset button for the trip meter pressed in until the original value has been reset.
Note!  For all vehicles from the 2003 model year a general yellow lamp will light when the reset button must be released.

Release the reset button for the trip odometer within 4 seconds. The instrument gives an audible signal when resetting has succeeded
If the trip meter is already reset the reset button should be held in for a minimum of 10 seconds and a maximum of 14 seconds.
Note!  If the reset button for the trip odometer is not released within 4 seconds, the service reminder indicator (SRI) is not reset.

For the bulb the plastic bulb holder has tabs to release it from the lamp assembly and the bulb uses a 1/4 turn to remove/replace.
