Seats and storage
.,. 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 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
q fig. 65.
- 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.
_8 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¢
fig. 65.
- 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
resistance can change the vehicle handling
and lead to a collision. Always adapt your
driving and your speed to the current condi­
tions.
CD Note
- Your vehicle warranty does not cover any
damages to the vehicle caused by using roof
racks or mounting structures not approved ..,.

Sea ts and stor age
by Aud i for your vehicle . The same applies to
damage resulting from incorrect roof rack
i nstallation.
- Always check the roof rack mo untings and
hardware before each trip and during a trip
to make sure everyth ing is securely tight ­
ened . If necessary, ret ighten the mo untings
and check the ent ire 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 veh icle is nat urally
i nc reased . Be careful when d riving under
l ow b ridges or in par king ga rages for exam­
ple. This could ca use damage to the load
and even the vehi cle itself.
- M ake su re the open rear lid and the sun­
r oof* do not come into contac t with the roof
rack .
Loading the roof rack
Always distribute loads evenly. Make sure any­
t hing on the roof rack is securely tied down .
• Always distribute the loads on the roof rack
evenly .
• Always attach i tems to the roof rack securely
before you drive off .
The max imum pe rm iss ib le roof weigh t is
220 lb
( 100 kg ).
The roof weight is the tota l of the
weight of the roof rack , the atta chments and the
cargo you are carrying. You must also not exceed
the maximum load we ight for the roof rack you
are us ing .
When using a roof rack system wh ich has a lower
load carrying capacity, you must not use up the
tota l maximum p erm issible load carry ing capac i­
ty specified above . Instead, you shou ld load the

ous persona l injury.
- Make sure the roof rack is installed exactly
as specified above
c> page 61 .
-Always use suitable mo unting straps for se­
cur ing items to the roof rack to he lp prevent
items from shifting or flying forward.
- Items on the roof rack must always be se ­
curely mounted .
- The use of a roof rack can negative ly affect
the way a vehicle handles . Cargo that is
large, heavy, b ulky, long or flat will have a
greater negative influence on the vehicle 's
aerodynamics, center o f grav ity and overall
handling . Always drive slowly, avo id sudden
braking and maneuvers when transporting
cargo on t he roof of your vehicle.
- Never exceed the maximum permissib le
load ca rry ing capacity of the roof of yo ur ve­
