A WARNING
- Never close the rear lid inattentively or
without checking fi rst . Altho ugh the
closing force of the rear lid is lim ited,
yo u can st ill ser iously injure yourself or
others.
- Always ensure that no one is w ith in
range of the rear lid when it is moving, in
part icu lar close to the hinges and the up­
per and lower edges -fingers or hands
can be p inched .
- To help prevent po isonous exhaust gas
from being d rawn into the vehicle, al ­
ways keep the rear lid closed while driv­ ing. Never transport objects larger than
those which fit completely into the lug­
gage area, because then the rear lid can­
not be fully closed.
- Never leave you r vehicle unattended es­
pecially with the rea r lid left open . A
child could crawl into the car through the
l u ggage compa rtment and pull the lid
shut, becom ing trapped and unab le to
get out. To reduce the risk of persona l in­
jury , never let children p lay in or around
your vehicle . A lways keep the rear lid as

well as the vehicle doors closed when not
in use .
- If there is a l uggage rack or bicycle rack
mounted on the rear lid, it may not be
ab le to open completely or an opened
rear lid may close by itself because of the
added weight . So the open rear lid must
be supported or the weight must be re­
moved from the luggage rac k first.
@ Tips
- If the rear lid is open or not properly
locked when the ign ition is turned on,
the door and rear lid warning ~

80 Seats and storage
Tie-down rings
There are four tie-down rings in the luggage
compartment for securing luggage items .

Fig. 88 Location of the tie-down rings in th e luggage
compartment
., Secure the cargo to the tie-down rings
¢fig. 88 .
., Observe the safety notes ¢ page 172 .
In a collis ion, the laws of physics mean that
even smaller items that are loose in the vehi­
cle will turn into heavy missiles that can cause
serious injury. Items in the vehicle pick up ki­
netic energy which varies with the vehicle and
the we ight of the item. Vehicle speed is the
most significant factor.
For example, in a frontal collis ion at a speed
of 30 mph (48 km/h), the forces acting on a 10- lb (5 kg) object are about
20 times the
normal weight of the item. T his means that
the weight of the item would suddenly be the
equivalent of about 200 lbs (90 kg). One can
easily imagine the injuries that an item of that
weight flying freely through the passenger compartment can cause in a collision at a
speed considered relatively low.
A WARNING
Weak, damaged or improper straps used
to secure items to tie-downs can fail dur­
ing hard brak ing or in a collision and cause
serious personal injury.
- Always use suitable retaining straps and
properly secure items to the tie-downs in
the luggage compartment to help pre­
vent items from shifting or flying for­
ward.
.
- When the rear seat backrest is folded
down, always use suitable retaining
straps and properly secure items to the
tie-downs in the luggage compartment
to help prevent items from flying for­
ward into the passenger compartment.
- Never attach a child safety seat tether strap to a tie-down.
Cargo net
Applies to vehicles: wit h cargo net
The cargo net prevents light objects from
sliding around in the luggage compartment.

eyelets.
., Then, hang the
rear hooks in the fastening
eyelets .
A WARNING
--
For strength-related reasons, the mount·
ing hooks can only be used to secure ob­
jects weighing up to 10 lb. (5 kg). Heavier
objects will not be adequately secured -
there is a risk of injury.

Retractable luggage compartment cover

A WARNING
Whenever driving, never place any hard or
heavy objects on the luggage compart­
ment or allow pets to sit on the luggage
compartment cover. They could become a
hazard to vehicle occupants in the event of
sudden braking or in an accident .
(D Note
-Make sure that the heat ing wires in the
rear lid do not get damaged by objects
scraping against them.
- Th e two inner attaching eyes on the left
and right in the seatback
¢ fig . 90 @ are
not suitable for tying down cargo - risk of
damage. Only the luggage compartment
cover should be attached here.
(D Tips
- You can use the luggage compartment
cover to store light weight clothing or ar­
ticles but do not leave any heavy or sharp
objects in the pockets of the clothing.
- Remember that plac ing clothing or arti­
cles on the luggage compartment cover
can block the driver's vision in the rear
view mirror . This also applies especially
when you have to transport large ob­
jects .

can cause the roof rack or the items at­
tached 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 84, fig. 95 .
-The roof rack system must be installed
exactly according to the instructions pro­
vided.
(D 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 dur­
ing a trip to make sure everything is se ­
curely tightened . If necessary, retighten
the mountings and check the entire sys­
tem from time to time.
- After mounting a roof rack system, or
when you transport objects on the roof
of your vehicle, the height of the vehicle
is naturally 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.
Roof rack mounting locations
Roof racks must be installed only at the loca­
tions marked on the roof rails .
i
-
Fig. 95 Roof rails: front and rea r mo unting locatio ns
Mount the front and rear cross bars between
the punched markings on the inside of the
roof railings ~
fig. 95. The markings are locat­
ed on the inside of the railings.
Loading the roof rack
Always distribute loads evenly. Make sure
anything on the roof rack is securely tied
down.
.,. Always distribute the loads on the roof rack
evenly .
.,. Always attach items to the roof rack secure -
ly before you drive off .
The max imum permissible roof weight is
220
lb (100 kg).
The roof weight is made up of
the weight of the roof rack system and the
weight of the object being transported .
When using a roof rack system wh ich has a
lower load carrying capacity, you must not use
up the total maximum permissible load carry­
ing capacity specified above. Instead, you
should load the roof rack system only to the maximum capacity specified by the manufac­
turer of the roof rack system .
.&_ WARNING
Weak, damaged or improper straps used
to secure items to the roof rack can fail
during hard braking or in a collision and
cause serious personal injury.
- Make sure the roof rack is installed exact­
ly as specified above~
page 84.
-Always use suitable mounting straps for
securing items to the roof rack to help
prevent items from shifting or flying for­
ward .
- Items on the roof rack must always be
securely mounted.
- The use of a roof rack can negatively af­
fect the way a vehicle handles. Cargo that is large, heavy, bulky , long or flat
will have a greater negative influence on the vehicle's aerodynamics, center of
gravity and overall handling. Always
drive slowly, avoid sudden braking and .,,.

maneuvers when transporting cargo on
the roof of your vehicle.
- Never exceed the maximum permissible
load carrying capacity of the roof of your
vehicle, the permissible axle weights and
the permissible total weight of your vehi­ cle
¢ page 320, Weights.
CD Note
Make sure that the opened rear lid does
not come in contact with the cargo on the
roof.
@ For the sake of the environment
As a resu lt of the increased wind resist­
ance created by a roof rack, your vehicle is
using fuel unnecessarily. So remove the
roof rack after using it.
