.... N
0 I­co .... .... -Objects fal ling 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 . 65.
- The roof rack system must be installed ex­
act ly according to the instructions provided .
- When driving with a roo f rack system,
changes to the center of gravity and wind
resistance can change the vehicle handling
and lead to a collision. Always adapt your
dr iv ing and your speed to the current condi­
t ions .
- 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 result ing from incorrect roof rack
i nstallation .
-Always check the roof rack mount ings and
hardware before each t rip and dur ing a tr ip
to make sure everyt hing is securely tight­
ened.
If necessary, ret igh ten the mo unt ings
and c hec k the en tire system from time to
time.
- After mounting a roof rack system, or when
you transport objects on the roof of your ve ­
hicle, the height of the vehicle 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 s ure that the open rear lid and the
sunroof do not come into contact with ob­
jects on the roof .
Loading the roof rack
Always distribu te loads evenly. Make sure any­
thing on the roof rack is securely tied down.
~ Always distribute th e loads on the roof rack
evenly .
~ Always attach items to the roof rack securely
before you drive off .
T he maximum perm iss ible roof weight is
165 lb
( 75 kg ). The roof weight is the total of the
Seat s and sto rage
weight o f the roof rack, the attachments and the
cargo you ar e carrying. You must a lso not exceed
the max imum load weight for the roof rack you
are using.
When using a roo f rack system which has a lower
load carry ing capacity, you must not use up the
total max imum permissible load carry ing capac i­
ty specified above. Instead, you should load the
roof rack sys tem only to the maximum capacity
specified by the manufacturer of the roof rack
system .
A WARNING
= -Weak, damaged or imprope r straps used to
secure items to the roof rac k can fail d uring
hard brak ing o r in a co llision and cause seri ­
ous persona l injury.
- Make sure the roof r ack is installed exactly
as specified above
c:> page 62.
- Always use suitable mounting straps fo r se­
cur ing items to the roof rac k to he lp prevent
items from shifting o r flying forward .
- Items on the roof rack mus t always be se ­
curely mounted.
- The use of a roof rack can negative ly affect
the w ay a vehicle hand les . Cargo tha t is
large, heavy, b ulk y, long or flat wi ll have a
grea ter negat ive infl uence on the vehicle's
aerodynamics, center of gravity and overa ll
handling. Always drive slowly, avoid sudden
braking and maneuvers when transporting
cargo on the roof of your vehicle.
- Never exceed the max imum permissib le
load carrying capacity of the roof of your ve­
h icle, the permiss ible axle weights and the
perm iss ible total we ight of your vehicle
c:> page 241, Weights .
@ For the sake of the environment
As a result of the increased wind res istance
created by a roof rack, your vehicle is using
fuel unnecessarily . So remove the roof rack
after using it .

Emergency braking
In the event that the conventional brake system
fails or locks.
11-In an emergency, pull the sw itch @c:> page 77,
fig. 80 and cont inue to pull it to slow your vehi­
cle down with the park ing brake .
11-As soon as you release the switch @ or acceler-
ate, the brak ing p rocess stops.
If you pull the sw itch @and hold it above a
speed of about
5 mph (8 km/h), the emergency
braking function is in itiated. The vehicle is braked
at all four wheels by activating the hydrau lic
b rake system. The brake performance is sim ila r
to making an eme rgency stop c:>
.&..
In order not to activate the emergency brak ing by
mistake, an audib le wa rning tone (buzze r)
sounds when the sw itch @ is pulled . As soon as
the switch @is re leased, or the acce lerator peda l
is depressed, emergency braking stops.
A WARNING
Emergency braking should only be used in an
emergency, when the normal foot brake has
failed or the brake pedal is obstructed. Using the parking brake to perform emergency
brak ing will slow your vehicle down as if you
had made a full bra ke appl ication . The laws of
physics cannot be suspended even with ESC
and its associated components (ABS, ASR, EDS). In corners and when road or weather
conditions a re bad, a f ull brake application
can ca use the vehicle to skid or the rear end to
break away- risking an accident.
Speed warning system
Overview
The speed warning sys tem helps you to keep your
driving speed below a set speed limit .
The speed warning system warns if the driver ex ­
ceeds a prev iously stored maximum speed. A
;::; warning tone w ill sound as soon as the vehicle
0 ~ speed exceeds the set speed by about 3 mph
~ (3 km/h). At the same time , a warning symbol Lil ,...., v:, ,....,
D riv ing
appea rs in the display. The symbo l's appearance
might be diff erent in some models.
T he speed warn ing system has two warning
thresholds that function independently of each
othe r and that have somewhat different p urpos­
es:
Speed warning 1
You can use speed warning 1 to set the max imum
speed w hile you are dr iving . T his sett ing will re ­
main in effect until you tu rn off the ignit ion, as­
sum ing that you have not changed o r reset the
setting .
T he . (USA models) /. (Canada models)
speed wa rning symbo l in the warning 1 disp lay
appears when you exceed the maximum speed .
It
goes out when the speed falls below the stored
maximum speed.
T he speed warn ing symbol will also go out if the
speed
exceeds the stored maximum speed by
more than about 2S mph
(40 km/h) for at least
10 seconds. The stored maximum speed is delet­
ed.
Sp eed wa rning 2
Storing warning 2 is recommended if you always
want to be reminded of a certain speed, for ex­
amp le wh en you are trav eling in a country that
has a genera l maximum speed limit, or if you do
not want to exceed a specified speed for winter
t ires .
T he . (USA models) /. (Canada mod els)
speed warning 2 symbol appears in the display
when you exceed the stored speed limi t. Unlike
warning 1 , it wilt not go out unt il the vehicle
speed drops below the stored speed limit .
Setting speed warning 2 c:>
page 80.
{D Tips
Even though your vehicle is eq uipped with a
speed warning system, you should still watch
the speedometer to make sure you are not
driving faster than the speed lim it.
