check the manual…I can get rid of mine by pushing the odometer button when I turn on the ignition to access. position…hold and watch the odometer click down.

Jay,  
Volvo has made your task difficult by requiring you to go to the dealer to reset the light with a special tool. Good luck.

On my S80, you push in and hold the trip odometer button while turning the ignition on. Release it when the light blinks. May be different on yours. I suggest you go to [volvoforums.com](http://volvoforums.com) and check in the appropriate vehicle section for your car.
