attached to it to fall off the roof onto the
road .
- Objects falling from the roof of a vehicle
can cause a crash and persona l injury.
- Only mount the roof rack on the desig­
nated locations on the roof¢
fig. 64 .
- The roof rack system must be insta lled
exactly according to the instructions pro­
vided.
- When driving with a roof rack system,
changes to the center of gravity and wind
resistance can change the vehicle han­
dling and lead to a collision . Always
adapt your driv ing and your speed to the
current conditions .
(D Note
-Your vehicle warranty does not cover any
damages to the veh icle caused by using
roof racks or mount ing structures not
approved by Audi for your vehicle . The
same applies to damage resulting from
i nco rrect roof rack installation .
-Always check the roof rack mountings
and hardware before each trip and dur­
i ng a tr ip to make sure eve rythi ng is se­
cu rely tightened. If ne cessary, retighten
the mo unt ings and check the ent ire sys­
tem from time to time.
- After mounting a roof rac k system, or
when you transport objects on the roof
of your vehicle, the height of the vehicle
is natura lly increased . Be careful when
driving under low br idges or in parking
garages for examp le. This could cause
damage to the load and even the vehicle
i tself .
- Make sure that the open rear lid and the
sunroof do not come into contact w ith
objects on the roof .
Loading the roof rack
Always distribute loads evenly. Make sure
any thing on the roof rack is securel y tied
down.
.. Always distrib ute the loads on the roof rack
even ly.
.. Always attac h it em s to the roof rack securely
before you dr ive off .
T he max im um perm issible roof weight is
165 lb (75 kg ). The roof we ight is the total of
the weigh t of the roof rack, the at tachments
and the cargo you are carrying . You must a lso
not exceed the maximum load we ight for the
r oof rack you are using.
When using a roo f rack system which has a
lower load carrying capacity , you must not use
up the tota l maximum permiss ible load carry­
ing capac ity specified above. Instead, you
shou ld load the roof rack system only to the
maximum capacity specified by the manufac ­
tu rer of the roo f rack sys tem.
A WARNING
=
Weak, damaged or imprope r straps used
to secure items to the roof rack can fail
d uring hard braking or in a coll is ion and
cause ser ious personal injury.
- Make sure the roof rack is installed exact­
ly as specif ied above ¢
page 5 7.
- Always use s uitable mounting straps for
secur ing items to the roof rack to help
prevent items from sh ifting 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 hand les . Cargo
that is large, heavy, bulky, long or flat
will have a greater negat ive influence on
the vehicle's aerodynamics, center of
g rav ity and overall handling. Always
d rive s lowly, avoid s udden bra king and
maneuvers when transporting ca rgo on
the roof of your vehicle .

Warm and cold Climate control
Description
The climate control system warms, cools and
adds humidity to the a ir in the veh icle inter io r.
It is the most effect ive when the windows and
sunroof are closed . If the re is a build-up of
h eat inside the vehicle, ventilation can help to
speed up the cooling process .
Condensat ion from the cooling sys tem can
drip and form a puddle of water under the ve­
hicle. This is normal and does not mean there
is a leak .
Pollution filter
The po llution filte r removes impuri ties, such
as dus t and po llen, from the air.
The air pollutants filter must be changed at
the intervals spec ified in you r Wa rra nty
&
M aintenance book let, so tha t the air condi­
tioner can prope rly work .
If you drive your vehicle in an area with h igh
a ir po llution, the fi lter may need to be
changed more frequent ly than specified in
your Aud i Warr anty
& Ma intenance booklet. If
in doubt, ask your authorized A udi Service Ad ­
visor for advice .
A WARNING
Reduced visibility is dangero us and can
cause accidents.

all windows be free of ice, snow and con­
densation.

A WARNING
-Heavy loads will influence the way your ve-
hicle handles. To help reduce the risk of a
loss of control leading to serious personal
injury:
-Always keep in mind when transporting
heavy objects, that a change in the cen­
ter of gravity can also cause changes in
veh icle handling :
- Always distribute the load as evenly as
possible.
- Place heavy objects as far forward in
the luggage compartment as possible.
- Never exceed the Gross Axle Weight Rat­
ing or the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
specified on the safety compliance stick­
er on the left door jamb. Exceeding per­
missible weight standards can cause the
veh icle to slide and handle differently.
