A WARNING
- Never close the rear lid inattentively or
without checking fi rst . Although 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 mov ing, in
part icu lar close to the h inges and the up­
per and lowe r edges -fingers or hands
can be p inched.
- T o help p reven t po isonous exha ust 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 your vehicle unattended es­
pecially with the rear lid left open. A
child could crawl into the car through the
luggage compartment and pull the lid

Opening and clo sin g 47
shut, becoming trapped and unable to
get out. To reduce the risk of personal in­
jury, never let ch ildren play in or around
your veh icle . Always keep the rear lid as
well as the vehicle doors closed when not in use .
- If there is a l uggage rack or b icycle rack
mounted on the rear lid, it may not be
ab le to open completely o r an opened
rea r lid may close by itself because of the
ad ded weight. So the open rear lid mus t
be supported or the weigh t must be re ­
moved from the luggage rac k first .
(D Tips
- If the rear lid is open o r not properly
locked when the ign ition is turned on ,
t he door and rear lid warning ~

play.
- The automatic rear lid opening/clos ing
process can be stopped by ho ld ing the
rear lid w ith your hand. The lid can then
be further opened/closed by hand.
- If there is a mechan ica l problem wit h the
automatic rear lid

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

Fig. 91 Locat ion of t he tie -down rings in the luggage
co mpar tment
.,. Secure the cargo to the tie-down rings
¢ fig . 91 .
.,. Observe the safety notes ¢ page 170.
In a collision, 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 weight of the item . Veh icle speed is the
most significant factor.
For example, in a frontal coll ision 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. This means that
the we ight of the item would suddenly be the
equivalent of about 200 lbs (90 kg). One can
easi ly 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 t ie-downs can fail dur­
ing hard brak ing or in a col lision and cause
ser ious 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.
.
S ea ts a nd s to rage 83
- When the rear seat backrest is folded
down, always use suitable reta ining
straps and properly secure items to the
tie-downs in the luggage compartment
to help prevent items from fly ing for­
ward into the passenger compartment.
- Never attach a child safety seat tether
strap to a t ie-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

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.

the grip.
On vehicles with
6 or 7 seats* the cargo floor
cannot be folded up, only raised . If the cargo
floor is removed, the hooks must be pushed into the guides under the third row seating
when the cargo floor is re-installed.
& WARNING ~
When the cargo floor is folded upright, the
items being transported must not exceed
the maximum cargo height, 2/3 of the car­
go floor space with the floor folded for­
ward, or a weight of about 33 lb. (15 kg).
{I) Tips
We recommend that you use a tie-down
strap to secure objects to the tie-down
eyelets on the right and left sides of the
vehicle.

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
r:> page 87, fig. 98.
-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 i ncorrect 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 mount ings 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 veh icle, the height of the vehicle
i s 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.
Roof rack mounting locations
Roof racks must be installed only at the loca­
tions marked on the roof rails.

Seats and storage 87
Mount the front and rear cross bars between
the punched markings on the inside of the roof ra ilings
¢ fig . 98. The markings are locat­
ed on the inside of the ra ilings.
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
even ly .
.,. Always attach items to the roof rack securely
before you drive off.
The maximum 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 which 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 imprope r 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 87 .
-Always use suitable mount ing straps for
securing items to the roof rack to help
prevent items from shifting or flying for­
ward.
- Items on the roof rack must a lways be
securely mounted.
- The use of a roof rack can negatively af­
fect the way a veh icle hand les. Cargo
that is large, heavy, bulky, long or flat
will have a greater negative influence on
the vehicle's aerodynamics, center of grav ity and overall handling. Always
drive slowly, avoid sudden braki ng and .,.

maneuvers when transporting cargo on
the roof of your vehicle.
- Never exceed the maximum permissible
load carrying capacity of the roof o f your
vehicle, the perm issib le axle weights and
the permiss ible total weight of your veh i­
cle
c:> page 323, 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 .

A WARNING
- Always pay attention to traffic even when
the cruise control is switched on. You are
always responsible for your speed and
the distance between your veh icle and
other veh icles .
- For safety reasons, the cruise control
should not be used in the city, in stop­
and-go traffic, on twisting roads and
when road conditions are poor (such as
ice, fog , gravel, heavy rain and hydro­
p laning) - risk of accident.
- Turn off the cruise control temporarily
when en ter ing turn lanes, highway exit
lanes or in construction zones .
- Please note that inadvertently "resting"
your foot on the accelerator pedal causes
the cruise control not to brake. This is because the cruise control is overridden
by the driver's acceleration.
- Never use the cruise control when driving
off-road o r on unpaved roads. The cruise
control is intended for use only when the
vehicle is being operated on paved roads,
and is not suitable for use off-road or on
unpaved roads .
(D Tips
The cruise control cannot maintain a con­
stant speed when driving downhill. The ve­
hicle will accelerate under its own weight .
Downshift to a lower gear or use the
brakes to slow down.

ments, tap the lever in the
