Ignition needs to be on and you need to push the button on the end of the indicator stalk to cycle through the options. if you have no button I'm afraid you have not got this option.

I think that this would have been a cost option at the time of purchase of the car. My ZT is pretty sparse on the options too!

Hello Alan,

My 2004 brochure (for facelifted cars) says that the trip computer was an option on the Connoisseur.

You can still check your fuel consumption using the brim-to-brim method, but for accuracy it's best to do this using as near to a full tank of diesel as possible.

Simon

Do it the old way!
  • Fill tank to brim.
  • Reset distance trip
  • Drive
  • When almost empty, fill again.
  • Look at how many litres you've get back in the tank compared to the miles on the trip.
  • Calculate!
That's more accurate than a few sensors!

Hmm, wish I could contribute to that thread! My CDTi only gave around 40mpg at 70-75mph touring on motorways in Europe...
