Fig. 64 Roof rack attachment points
• Always read and follow the instructions provid­
ed by the roof rack manufacturer when instal­
ling the roof rack system .
If luggage or cargo is to be carried on the roof,
you must observe the following :
- Only use roof racks approved for your vehicle.
These approved roof racks are the basis for a complete roof rack system. Additional attach­
ments or carrier systems are needed to trans­
port luggage and sports equipment . We recom-
Seats and storage
mend using roof racks from the Audi original
accessories program.
- When installing the roof rack, make sure it is
only mounted on the designated locations on
the roof
c::> fig. 64.
- 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 through an automatic car wash (it
is best to ask the car wash operator for advice).
- When not in use, to reduce fuel consumption,
wind 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 roof rack on the designated
locations on the roof
c::> fig . 64.
- The roof rack system must be installed ex­
actly according to the instructions provided.
- When driving with a roof rack system,
changes to the center of gravity and wind re­
sistance can change the vehicle handling
and lead to a co llision. Always adapt your
driving and your speed to the current condi­
tions.
(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 during a trip
to make sure everything is securely tight­
ened. If necessary, retighten the mountings
and check the entire system from time to
time. ..,.

Seat s and storage
- After mounting a roof rack system, or when
you transport objects on the roof of your ve­ hicle, the height of the veh icle is naturally
i ncreased . Be caref ul when driv ing under
l ow bridges or in parking garages for exam­
ple. This cou ld cause damage to the load
and even the vehicle itself.
- Make sure that the open rear lid and the
sunroof do not come into contact w ith ob­
jects on the roof.
Loading the roof rack
Always distribute loads evenly. Make sure any­ thing on the roof rack is securely tied down.
"' Always distribute the loads on the roof rack
evenly .
"' Always attach items to the roof rack securely
before you drive off .
The max imum perm issib le roof weight is
165 lb
( 75 kg ). The roof weight is the total of the
weight of the roof rack, the attachments and the
cargo yo u are carry ing . You must also not exceed
the maximum load weight fo r the roof rack you
are using.
When us ing a roof rack system w hich has a lower
load carrying capacity, you must not use up the
tota l maxim um permissible load carry ing capac i­
ty spe cified above . In stead, you shou ld load the
roof rack sys tem only to the maximum capaci ty
specified by the manufact urer of the roof rack
system.
A WARNING
Weak, damaged or improper straps used to
secure items to the roof rack can fa il dur ing
hard brak ing or in a co llision and cause seri­
ous pe rsonal injury.
- Make sure the roof rack is installed exactly
as specified above
r:!) page 61.
- Always use suitable mounting straps for se­
curing items to the roof rack to help prevent
items from shifting or flying fo rward .
- Items on the roof rack must always be se­
cu rely mounted.
62
-
- The use of a roof rack can negat ively affect
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
bra king and maneuvers w hen transporting
c a rgo on the roo f of your veh icle.
- Never exceed the maxim um permissible
load ca rrying capaci ty of the roof of your ve­
hicle, the perm iss ible axle weights and the
pe rm issib le tota l we igh t of your vehicle
r::!) page 233, Weights.
@ For the sake of the environment
As a result o f the increased wind resistance
create d by a roof rac k, yo ur vehicle is using
f u el unnecessarily. So remove the roof rack af ­
ter using it.
