Roof rack
Description and mounting locations
Additional cargo con be carried with a roof lug­
gage rock.
Fig. 62 Roof rack attachment points
.,. Always read and follow the instructions provid­
ed by the roof rack manufacturer when instal­
ling the roof rack sys tem.
If luggage or cargo is to be carried on the roof,
you must observe the follow ing:
62
- On ly 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
mend us ing roof racks from the Audi original
accessories program.
- When installing the roof rack, make sure it is
only mounted on the designated locat ions on
the roof¢
fig. 62.
- We recommend that you keep the installation
instructions for yo ur roof rack system together
w ith your Owner's literature in the vehicle .
When should the roof rack be remo ved?
- 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,
w ind no ise and to guard against theft .
A WARNING
-Use of an unapproved roof rack o r 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
locat ions on the roof¢
fig . 62.
- The roof rack system must be installed ex­
actly according to the instructions p rov ided.
- When driving with a roof rack system,
changes to the center of gravi ty and wind re­
sistance ca n change the veh icle hand ling
and lead to a co llision. Always adapt you r
driving and your speed to the current condi­
t ions.
(D Note
- Yo ur vehicle war ranty does not cov er any
damages to t he vehi cle caused by using roof
racks or mounting structures not ap proved
by Audi for yo ur vehicle. The same a pplies to
damage resulting from incorrec t roof rack
installation .
- Always che ck the roof rack mountings and
hardware before each trip and du ring a t rip
to make sure everything is secure ly

tightened. If necessary, retighten the mountings and check the entire system
from t ime to t ime.
- 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
increased. Be careful when driving under
l ow bridges or in parking garages for exam­
ple. This could cause damage to the load
and even the vehicle itself.
- Make sure the open rear lid and the sun­
roof* do not come into contact with the roof
rac k.
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 d rive off .
The maximum perm iss ible 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 you a re ca rrying . You must also not exceed
the maximum load weight fo r the roof rack you
a re using.
When using a roof rack system wh ich has a lower
l oad carrying capacity, you must not use up the
tota l maxim um permissible load car ry ing capac i­
ty specified above. Inste ad , you shou ld load t he
roof rack system only to the maximum capacity
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 during
hard brak ing or in a collision and cause seri­
ous personal injury.
- Make sure the roof rack is insta lled exactly
as spec ified above
¢ page 62.
- Always use suitable mounting straps for se­
curing items to the roof rack to help prevent
items from shift ing or f ly ing fo rward.
-
S eat s and stor age
- Items on the roof rac k must always be se­
curely mounted.
- The use of a roof rack can negatively affect
the way a vehicle handles. Cargo that is
large, heavy, bulky, long or flat will have a
greater negative inf luence on the vehicle's
ae rodynamics, center of gravity and overall
h a ndling. Always drive slowly, avoid sudden
b rak ing and maneuvers when transpor ting
cargo on the roof of your veh icle.
- Never exceed the maxim um permissible
load carrying capacity of the roof of your ve­
h icle, the permiss ible axle weights and the
perm issib le tota l we igh t of your vehicle
¢ page 258, Weights .
@ For the sake of the environment
As a result of the increased wind resistance
created by a roof ra ck , your vehicle is using
fuel unnecessarily. So remove the roof rac k af­
ter using it.

Warm and cold
Warm and cold Climate control system
Description
Different systems could be installed.
- manual climate control system* or
- automatic climate control system*
The
climate control system* cools and removes
humidity from the air in the vehic le interior. It is
the most effective when the windows and panor­
ama sunroof* are closed.
If there is a build-up of
heat inside the vehicle, ventilation can help to
speed up the cooling process . For this reason, the
windows and panorama sunroof can be opened
from the outside .~
page 41, Convenience open­
ing/closing
Pollutant filter
The pollutan t filter removes pollutants such as
dust and pollen from the air.
Key recognition
You can store various settings for the manua l and
automatic
climate control system* and assign
them to the key being used .
A WARNING
Poor visibility can lead to acc idents.
- For safer driving, keep all w indows free of
ice, snow and fog.
- Become familiar as quickly as possible with
the correct use and function of the climate
control system, espec ially with the defrost­
ing and defogging function .
- When the temperature is below freezing,
only use the windsh ield washer system after
the windsh ield has been warmed by the cli -
64
mate control system. The washer f luid could
freeze on the w indshield and impair visibili­
ty.
(D Note
- If you suspect that the climate control sys­
tem is damaged, switch the system off to
prevent further damage and have it checked
by an authorized Audi dealer or authorized
Audi Service Facility .
- Repairs to the Audi climate control system
require special technical knowledge and
special tools. See an author ized Audi dealer
or authorized Audi Service Facility .
@ For the sake of the environment
Reducing the amount of fuel used also re­
duces the amount of pollutants that enter the
a ir .
@ Tips
- To prevent interference with the heating
and cooling output and to prevent the win­
dows from fogg ing over, the air intake in
front of the w indshield must be free of ice,
snow or leaves.
- Condensation from the cooling system* can
dr ip and form a pudd le of water under the
vehicle . This is normal and does not mean
there is a leak .
- Th e energy management system may switch
the seat heating* or rear window defroster
off temporarily. These systems are available
again as soon as the energy balance has
been restored.
- The f lows through the vents under the rear
window. Make sure the openings are not
covered when p lacing clothing on the lug­
gage compartment cover.

Automatic climate cont rol system
We recommend p ress ing t he IAU TOI button and
se tting the temperature to 72
°F (22 °(). T he au ­

maintains a temperature once it has been set .
The temperature of the ai r from the vents, fan
speed, and a ir distribution are also automatically
adjusted. In all heating mode functions except
defrost, the b lower only sw itches to a higher
speed once the engine coo lant has reached ace r­
tain tempe rat ure.
ll Thi s fun ctio n is not ava ilable in a ll countries.
66
A WARNING
You shou ld not use the recirculation mode for
an extended period s ince no fresh air is drawn
i n . With the air-conditioning* switched off,
the w indows can fog up, which increases the
risk of an a cciden t.
IA/C l Switching the cooling mode on and off
The cooli ng sys tem is turned on a nd off with the
IAJC I button. The ai r is no t cooled and humid ity is
not removed when cooling mode is switched off .
This can cause fog on the windows. The coo ling
mode switches off automatically when there are
cold o utside temperatures.
IAU TO I Switching automatic mode on and off
The au tomatic mode is turned on using the
IAU TO I button. A UTO mode switches off once a
button in the climate contro l system is pressed.
Automat ic mode maintains a constant tempera­
ture i nside the vehicle. Air temperature, a irflow
and air distribut ion are contro lled automatically.
