Attach the roof rack only at the attachment poin ts on the roof railing. On the inside of th e
roof railing there are two holes for attaching the
rear end of the roof rack. To p revent confusing
the front and rear roof rack attachment s, there
are three holes on the left and two holes on the
ri ght for mounting the front part of the roof rack
q fig . 81 .
The roof racks have a sti cker on the left side un­
derneath to ident ify front and rear .
A WARNING
When installing the roof rack, make sure the
st icker is on the left side of the vehicle and
faces the stamped arrow in the drive dire c­
t ion.

Fig . 83 Roof railing: installing a roo f rack
The roof rack set cons ists of a front and rear roof
rack, the cove r profile and a socket wrench.
• Open the cap
(D q fig . 83 .
• Before mounting the roof rack, use the socket
wrench @and loosen the left and right screw
in the d irect ion of@ .
Seats and storag e
• Clean the attachment po ints on the roof railing
as well as the roof rack rubber washers@.
• Carefully place the roof rack over the holes in
the roof railing
q fig. 82.
• Place the p ins @ into the holes. The claw ®
must engage into the edge of the roof rai ling .
"' Make sure the rubber washer © lays flat on the
roof railing .
"' Tighten the left and r ight screws using the
soc ket wrench @ in d irect ion @.
"' To reac h the
4 ft lb (6 Nm ) tightening specif i­
cation needed, both arrows on the socket
wrench must align .
"' Repeat this procedure on the second roof rack.
A WARNING
Check all the roof rack connect ions each t ime
before each trip and re-tighten or re-adjust if
necessa ry . If you a re going to be dr iving or
r ough te rra in, you w ill have to check the at­
tachments mo re often. If yo u do not do th is,
the r isk of you r luggage coming loose and
fa lling off is greate r.
(D Note
The pins and the roof rack claws must engage
securely into the holes and into the edge of
the roof railing whe n you t ighten the screws!
(0 Tips
You can adjust the w idt h of the roof rack by
u sing a hexagon wrench and t urning the
screws on the top. Let your authori zed Audi
dealer help you wi th this.

Sea ts and stor age
Install ing the attachments
.. Remove the cap @~ fig. 84 .
.. Slide the attachment into the T-groove (2) .
.. Tighten the attachment according to the roof
rack installation instruct ions .
.. Close the cap.
Installing th e cover p rofile
.. Seal the openings in the T-groove (2) wi th the
cover profile @ after having installing the at­
tachments.
.. If you not want to use the attachment, seal the
whole T-groove
0 with the cover profile @.
.. Cut the cover profile to the length needed, if
necessary.
Roof load
The cargo on the roof must be securely attached.
Handling characteristics change when cargo is
transported .
The permissible roof load for your vehicle is
1 65 lbs (75 kg ). The roof load is the total of the
weight of the roof rack, the attachments and the
cargo you are carrying .
_&. WARNING
-The cargo must be secu rely attached on the
roof rack, otherwise you risk an accide nt.
- Distribute the load as evenly as possible and
do not make the roof rack wider than the
maximum pe rmitted.
- You m ust under no circumstances exceed
the permiss ible roof load, the perm iss ible
axle loads a nd the permissib le overa ll
weight of your vehicle -risk of an accident.
- Mount the attachments to the roof rack only
after you have placed the roof rack on the
vehicle.
- Consider that when transpo rting heavy ob­
jects or one wi th a large surface, the han­
dling characteristics change due to shift in
the center of gravity or the greater surface
exposed to the wind. So adapt your driving
and your speed to prevailing conditions. We recommend that you do not dr ive faster
than 80 mph (130 km/h) .
74
-Mounting a roof rack changes the height of
your veh icle. Keep th is in m ind when parking
your veh icle in your garage, or when dr iving
through a tunnel or under an overpass .
(D Note
- Make sure the rear lid does not hit the cargo
on the roof rack when you open it. On
vehicles with automat ic rear lid/trunk lid
operation* you may have to adjust the open
posit ion of the rear lid
~ page 44 .
-Remove the roof rack and attachment be­
fore taking your vehicle through an auto­ matic ca r wash to avoid damage .
@ For the sake of the environment
As a result of the increased wind resistance
created by a roof rack, your vehicle is using
fuel unnecessarily . So remove the roof rack
after using it.

,...., Start-Stop function
The combustion engine is operated on ly as need­
ed . Gene rally, the combustion engine turns off
when the vehicle is stationary and the high vo lt­
age battery powers the electrical vehicle sys­
tems.
The purpose of automatica lly shutting the com­
bustion engine off in hybrid drive mode is to save
fuel. All of the important vehicle systems, such
as steering, brakes and the A/C system, continue
to rema in active. In some cases, systems may re­
qu ire the combustion eng ine to continue running
when the vehicle is stationary . When dr iving in
congested traffic for long periods of t ime, the
combustion engine will cycle on when the veh icle
is stat iona ry to keep the h igh voltage battery
charged.
Gliding
If the gas pedal is not pressed and the D posit ion
is selected, the combustion engine remains
turned off up to speeds of app roximately 99 mph
(160 km/h) . D riving conservat ively like th is can
reduce fuel c:on5umption .
Energy recovery (recuperation )
When braking, the electric motor will act as a
generator creating electr ic energy that is then
sto red in the high voltage battery. This also oc­
curs when the ve hicle is coasting or dr iving down­
hill. The combustion engine is automatica lly
turned off in this case.

Hybrid
The vehicle is braked with the electric motor by
applying early and even pressure to the brakes
and using short pedal movements~
page 98,
fig. 110 @. By doing this, a large amount of the
kinetic energy is recovered and may be stored as
electric energy in the high voltage battery. Dur ­
i ng heavy brak ing, the conventional brakes are al­
so act ivated
~ page 98, fig . 11 0@ .
The energy recovery is shown in the MMI d isplay
~ page 104 .
Automatic start of the combustion engine
Various operating conditions cause the combus ­
t ion eng ine to start automatically:
- The high vo ltage battery charge level is low.
- The temperatu re of the combustion engine is
low.
- The temperature of the catalytic converter is
low.
- The power output needed for the A/C system is
high.
- The vehicle speed is high .
- The vehicle acceleration is high .
- The incline is steep .
- High charge level for the high voltage battery
when coasting. In this case, the high voltage battery cannot absorb any more energy and so
the electric motor cannot slow down the veh i­
cle . The combust ion engine turns on (engine
brake). In th is situation the high voltage bat­
tery will show a Max charge.
