Roof rack
Description
Additional cargo can be carried with a roof luggage rack.
If luggage o r cargo is to be carr ied on the roof, you must observe the
following:
• Your vehic le has aerodynamic rain gutters mo lded into the roof.
This is why co nventiona l roof luggage rac ks cannot be used . We
recommend using roof racks from the Audi original accessories
program.
• These approved roof racks are the basis fo r a complete roof rack
system . Addit ional attachments for the basic roof rack are neces ­
sary to safely transport luggage, bicycles, surf boards, skis or smal l
boats. All necessary ha rdware for these sys tems is available at your
authorized Audi dealer.
• We rec ommend tha t you keep the installation instructions for
your roof rack system together with your Owner's literature in the
vehic le .
When should the roof r ack be removed?
• Before goin g through an automat ic car wash (it is best to ask the
car wash operator for advice).
• When not in use, to reduce fue l consumption, wind noise and to
guard against theft.
& WARNING
• Use of an unappro ved roof rack o r in correct mounting of an
approved roof r ack 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 vehi cle can cau se a crash and
person al injur y.
• Only mount the system between the markings shown in
=> page 85 , fig . 92 .
• The roof rack sy stem mu st be in stalled e xactly according to the
instruct ions 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 app lies to damage resulting from
incorrect r oof rac k in sta llation .
• Always check the roof rack mountings and hardware before each
trip and du ring a tr ip to make su re everything is securely tightened.
I f necessary, retighten the mountings and check the entire system
from time to time.
• After mounting a roof rack system, or when you transport
objects on the roof of your vehicle, the he ight of the vehicle is nat u­
rally increased . B e carefu l when driving under low bridges or in
parking garages for example . This could cause da mage to th e lo ad
and even the vehic le itself .•

Mounting points
The roof r ack must be a ttached onl y at the loc ations
marked .
Installation
Fig . 92 Mou ntin g lo ca­
tion s for r oof rac k
When ins tall ing the front fee t, make sure that they are p ositioned
exactly on the positioning bolts provided @between the side panel
and the upper roof frame=> fig. 92. The bol t is visible as soon as you
push back the seal from the upper roof frame us ing the insta llation
t ool s upplied with the roof rack . The rear markings ® are identified
at the upper edge of the side g lass by two smal l arrowheads.
& WARNING
After tra veling several mile s, ens ure that the roof ra ck is secure .
[ i ] Tip s
The roof rack indicates whether it is to be mounted in the front or
b ack .•
Con tro ls and eq uip­
ment
Seats and storag e
Roof load
The cargo on the roof must be securely attached.
Han dling c har acteristic s change when c argo is trans­
ported .
The permissible roof load for your vehicle is 165 lb s. (75 kgl. The roof
load is a combination of the weight of the carrier system and the
cargo .
W hen using roof rack systems with a lower load capacity, you
cannot use the maximum permissib le roof load . In this case , the
ro of rack can only be loaded to the we ight li mit given in the instal ­
lation guide.
& WARNING
• The cargo must be se curel y attached on the roof ra ck, other­
wise you risk an a ccident.
• You mu st under no cir cumstances exceed the permissible roof
load , the permi ssible axle load s and the permis sible overall we ight
of your vehicle -risk of an a ccident.
• Consider that when tra nspo rting heavy obje cts or one with a
la rg e surface , the handling characteristi cs change due to shift in
the center of gravity or the greater surface exposed to the w ind.
So adapt your driv ing and your speed to pre vailing condit ion s.
<£> For the sake of the environment
As a result of the increase wind resistance created by a roof rack ,
your vehicle is using fuel unnecessarily . So remove the roof rack
after using i t.•
