Roof rack
Description
Additional cargo can be carried with a roof luggage rack .
If luggage or cargo is to be carried on the roof, you must observe the
following:
• Your vehicle has aerodynam ic rai n gutters molded into the roof.
T his is why co nvent ional roof luggage racks cannot be used . We .._
recommend using roof racks from the Audi original accessories
program.
• These approved roof racks are the basis for a complete roof rack
system . Additional attachments for the basic roof rack are necessary
to safe ly transport luggage, bicycles, surf boards, skis or small boats.
All necessary hardware for these systems is available at your autho
rized 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 thro ugh an automat ic car wash (it is best to ask the
car wash operator for advice).
• When not in use, to reduce fuel consumpt io n, w ind 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
~ fig. 89.
• 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 veh icle. The same applies to damage resulting from
incorrect roof rack installat ion .
Con tro ls a nd e quip
m en t Vehicle
OP-eration
Seats and storage
• Always check the roof rack mount ings and hardware before each
trip and during a trip to make sure everyth ing is securely tightened. If
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 veh icle, the height of the vehicle is natura lly
increased . Be careful when driving under low bridges or in parking
garages for example. This could cause damage to the load and even
the vehicle itself . •
Mounting points
The roof rack must be attached only at the locations
marked.
Installation
Fig. 89 Mounting
locations for roof rack
When installing the front feet, make sure that they are positioned
exactly on the positioning bolts provided @between the side pane l
and the upper roof frame~ fig. 89. The bo lt is visible as soon as you
push back the seal from the upper roof frame using the insta llation
tool supplied with the roof rack. The rear markings ® are identified
at the uppe r edge of the side glass by two small arrowheads. .,,.
Vehicle care Do-it-yourselt service iTechnical data
Seats and storage
& WARNING
After traveling several miles, ensure that the roof rack is secure.
[ i ] Tips
The roof rack ind icates whether it is to be mounted in the front or
back .a
Roof load
T h e cargo on the roof must be securely attached.
H andling characteristics change when cargo is trans
p orted.
The pe rmissible roof load for yo ur vehicle is 165 lb s. (75 kg ). The
roof load is a combination of the weight of the carrier system and the
c argo .
When using roof rack systems with a lower load capacity , you cannot
use the maximum permissib le roof load. In t his case, the roof rac k
can o nly be loaded to the weight limit g iven in the insta llation g uide .
& WARNING
• The cargo must be securely attached on the roof rack , other
wise you ri sk an accident .
• You must under no ci rcumstances exceed the permissible roof
load, the permissible axle loads and the permissible overall
weight of your vehicle· risk of an accident .
• Consider that when transporting heavy objects
or one with a
large surface, the handling characteristics change due to shift in
the center of gravity or the greater surface exposed to the wind. So
adapt your driving and your speed to prevailing conditions .
W For the sake of the environment
As a result of the increase wind resistance created by a roof rac k, yo ur
vehicle is using fue l unnecessari ly. So remove the roof rack after
using i t.•
