How to Reset the Tire Pressure Light (TPMS) on a Volvo V50

Steps from the 2011 Volvo V50 owner's manual (Canadian models only (recalibration procedure)).

Switch off the engine.
Inflate the tires to the desired pressure.
Turn the ignition key to position I or II.
Turn the thumb wheel on the left-side steering wheel lever until Tire pressure Calibration appears in the display.
Press and hold the Reset button on the left-side steering wheel lever until TIRE PRESSURE CALIBRATED is displayed.

On other models, after correcting pressures you may need to drive several minutes at 20 mph (30 km/h) or faster to erase the warning.
Recalibration is needed when changing to tires with a different recommended pressure; the manual says this must be done by an authorized Volvo retailer or workshop.
