& WARNING
Never store or place heavy objects on the luggage compartment

Roof rack
First things first
A roof rack can be fitted to carry additional luggage on
the roof.
-Always read and follow the instructions provided by the
roof rack manufacturer when the roof rack system must
be installed.
If you are transporting luggage or other objects on the roof, please
note the following:
• Your vehicle has specially designed aerodynamic roof rails . Only
install a roof rack specifically designed for your model. Contact the
nearest Audi dealer for information on approved modular roof racks
for your vehicle.
• These approved roof racks are the basis for a complete roof rack
system. Additional attachments for the basic roof rack are neces-

sary to safely transport luggage, bicycles, surf boards, skis or small
boats. All necessary hardware for these systems is available at your
authorized Audi dealer.
• We recommend that you keep the installation instructions for
your roof rack system together with your Owner's literature in the
vehicle.
When should the roof rack be removed?
• Before going through an automatic car wash (it is best to ask the
car wash operator for advice).
• When not in use , to reduce fuel consumption, wind noise and to
guard against theft.
& WARNING
• Use of an unapproved roof rack or incorrect mounting of an
approved roof rack can cause the roof rack or the items attached
to it to fall off the roof onto the road.
• Objects falling from the roof of a vehicle can cause a crash and
personal injury.
• Only mount the system between the markings shown in
~ page 80, fig. 70.
• The roof rack system must be installed exactly according to the
instructions provided.
0 Note
• Your vehicle warranty does not cover any damages to the vehicle
caused by using roof racks or mounting structures not approved by
Audi for your vehicle. The same applies to damage resulting from
incorrect roof rack installation .
• Always check the roof rack mountings and hardware before each
trip and during a trip to make sure everything is securely tightened.
If necessary, retighten the mountings and check the entire system
from time to time . .,,
I • •

Seats and stor ag e
• After mounting a roof rack system, or when you transport
objects on the roof of your vehicle, the height of the vehicle is natu ­
rally increased . Be careful when driving under low bridges or in
parking garages for example. This cou ld cause damage to the load
and even the vehicle itself. •
Mounting locations
The roof rack must be attached only at the positioning
bolts.
Inst allati on
Fig . 7 0 M ounti ng l oca­
tion s for roo f ra ck
When installing the feet make sure that they are positioned exactly
on the position ing bolts provided @ between the side panel and
the upper roof frame=> fig. 70. The positioning bolt is visible as
soon as the lip of the sealing strip is pushed back from the roof
frame with the tool provided. •
Loading the roof rack
Always distribute the loads evenly . M ake sure anything on
the roof rack is securely tied down.
- Always distr ibute the loads on the roo f rac k evenly . Always attach items t
o the roof rack sec urely bef ore you
d rive of f.
The maximum permiss ible roof weigh t is 16 5 lb (75 kgl. The roof
weight is made up of the weight of the roof rack system and the
we ight of the object being transported.
When using a roof rack system which has a lower load carrying
capacity, you must not use up the total maximum permissible load
carrying capacity specified above. Instead, you should load the roof
rack system only to the maximum capacity specified by the manu ­
facturer of the roof rack system .
& WARNING
Weak, d ama ged or imp rop er strap s used to se cure item s to the
roof ra ck c an f ail during hard braking or in a colli sion and cau se
s eriou s per sonal injury.
• Make sure the roof rack is installed e xactly a s specified abov e
=> page B O.
• Always use suitabl e mounting straps for securing i tems to the
roof ra ck to he lp prevent ite ms from s hifting or fly ing f orward .
• Items on the roof rack must alwa ys be securely mounted.
• The use of a roof rack can negatively affect the wa y a ve hicle
h andle s. Ca rgo that i s la rg e, heavy , bulky , long or fl at will hav e a
gr eater negative influen ce on th e vehicle' s aerodynamics , center
of gravity and overall handling . Al ways drive slowly , avo id sudden

• Never e xceed the ma ximu m permi ssible lo ad carr ying capac ity
of the roof of your vehic le , the permissible axle weights and the
perm is sible t ota l weight of your vehicle:::;,
page 289 , "Weight s".
• Alway s drive slowly , avoid sudden braking and maneuver s
when transport ing carg o on t he ro of of your vehi cle .

<£> For the sake of the environment
Sometimes it may be easier to leave a roof rack installed even
though you are not using it . Due to the increased air resistance your
vehicle wi ll unnecessarily use more fuel. Remove the roo f rack if you
are not going to use it. •

th ree point safe ty belt s i n so me frontal co lli sio ns in which t he
veh ic le dece lerat ion is h igh enou gh to deploy th e airbags.
Front airbags will not deploy:
• if the ignition is switched off when a crash occurs,
• in s ide collisions ,
• i n rea r- e nd c ollisions ,
• in ro llovers,
• when th e cras h d eceler ation m easured b y th e a irba g sys te m i s
less than the minimum threshold needed for airbag dep loyment as
r egi stere d by the ele ctronic control u nit.
The front passenger airbag will also not deploy :
• when the fron t passenger s eat i s not o ccupied,
• when the weight o n th e front pass enger seat as se nsed by the
Ad vanced Ai rbag S ystem indi cates tha t th e front airba g on the
pas senger side has to be tu rned off b y the e lectronic cont ro l unit
(th e PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF l ig ht co me s on and sta y s on ).
& WARNING
Sitting in the wrong position can increase the risk of ser ious injury
in crashes .
• To reduce the risk of injury when the airbags inflate , the driver
and passengers must always sit in an upright position , must not
lean against or place any part of their body too close to the area
where the airbags are located .
• Occupants who are unbelted , out of position or too close to the
airbag can be seriously injured by an airbag as it unfolds with
great force in the blink of an eye~ page 137.
Controls and equip­ ment Safety first
Vehicle operation
& WARNING
A child in a rearward-facing child safety seat installed on the front
passenger seat will be seriously injured and can be killed if the
front airbag inflates - even w ith an Advanced Airbag System .
• The inflating airbag will hit the child safety seat or infant
carrier with great force and will smash the child safety seat and
child against the backrest , center arm rest , door or roof.
• Always install rear-facing child safety seats on the rear seat .
• If you must install a rearward facing child safety seat on the
front passenger seat because of exceptional circumstances and
the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF light does not come on and stay on, immediately install the rear-facing child safety seat in a rear
seating position and have the airbag system inspected by your
Audi dealer .
& WARNING
Objects between you and the airbag will in crease the risk of injury
in a crash by interfering with the way the airbag unfolds or by
being pushed into you as the airbag inflates .
• Never hold things in your hands or on your lap when the vehicle
is in use .
• Never transport items on or in the area of the front passenger
seat. Objects could move into the area of the front airbags during
braking or other sudden maneuver and become dangerous projec­
tiles that can cause serious personal injury if the airbags inflate .
• Never place or attach accessories or other objects (such as cup
holders , telephone brackets , large , heavy or bulky objects ) on the
doors , over or near the area marked "AIRBAG " on the steering
wheel , instrument panel , seat backrests or between those areas
and yourself . These objects could cause injury in a crash , espe ­
cially when the airbags inflate .
• Never recline the front passenger's seat to transport objects.
