How do I extinguish the "time for service" light?

My 2007 9-5 Aero's odometer just hit 82K miles and the "time for service" light came on.
I just had the oil changed but the light remains lit. Does anyone know how I can turn it off?
BTW, I purchased this 9-5 about 4 years ago with 40K miles on it. It has been remarkably reliable and trouble-free.
I have been very pleased with it and only hope that the SAAB brand finds a way to continue.

Press and hold the "Clear" button on the steering wheel.  You need to hold the button down for about 10 seconds.  After about 2 or three seconds the display reverts to "normal", but keep the button pressed; it hasn't failed.  After about 10 seconds the dash display will change to "Cleared".

If it's manual might need to have engine running and foot on brake iirc.

For some reason, pressing the brake pedal is only necessary on the diesel engined cars. :)

Absolutely, did mine about 3 days before I serviced the car a few weeks ago. OH told me it had come on and I now know what ESP stands for - the car MUST have known I had ordered the service kit and oil that day lol
