On The 2008 XC70 we need to use the volvo computer in the service
department shop to reset we have all tried all the old ways there is no
way to reset the service indicator.

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 s 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.

Here's a method I found on Volvo Forums. I have not tried it so I don't
know if it really works.

1. start the car. the time for regular maintenance light will appear.
2. press the button to shut the car off, the time for regular maintenance
light should still be on the screen.
3. breifly press the start/stop button, the dashboard will become brighter
and the service light will still be on. [you are now in position I]
4. press the odometer button first then quickly press and hold the start
stop button until all the idiot lights appear, when this occurs you can
release the start stop button.
5. while still holding the odometer button wait until the orange Information
icon flashes, when this occurs release the odometer button and you will here
an audible signal that the reset has occured.

Your radio station presets will be lost after this reset so if you have any
stations you like write them down before hand.
