So sorry you are having issues with a new vehicle! > Its going to the dealer in 5 days but its driving me nuts !!!!!!!! > > >> How do I turn off the service light ... > > > >Take it in for dealer service.

A service light doesn't indicate that anything is wrong. It simply means the vehicle needs its routine service (usually every 5000 miles).

On my '95 850 it is every 10,000 miles. On my '01 XC70 it is every 7,500 miles. On turbos it is more often. There are 2 different lights: Service light indicates routine service. It is triggered by the odometer. It is predictable and can be anticipated. Check Engine light indicates the computer has detected an abnormality. It usually has a sense of urgency connected with it.

It is predictable and can be anticipated. Certainly, and on every Volvo I've owned, turns itself off once a defined period of time has passed after the engine is started. > Check Engine light indicates the computer has detected an abnormality. > It usually has a sense of urgency connected with it. I thought the OP was concerned about the Service Light and not the Check Engine light, but perhaps I'm mistaken.

He was, but some of the responders thought he had something wrong. As you pointed out, he doesn't.

Quite often the light will come on if the fuel tank cap is not tightened fully so it clicks, however in the very unlikely chance that there is a serious issue with your new XC70 I would strongly suggest that you bring it to the dealer--they should be able to arrange a while you wait appointment or perhaps a loaner. Best luck!

The official count is 343, but there was also a volunteer who lost his life aiding in the initial rescue efforts. And I will never forget them as long as I live, nor should any American. My mistake, I apologize to all. > > You have a warranty, why guess--bring it to the dealer! > > Quite often the light will come on if the fuel tank cap is not tightened [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > The OP stated that the service light was on not the check engine light > the car needs to be serviced |
