Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Roof rack
The roof rack must only be secured in the posi
tioning
bolt area.
Fig. 5 0 Mounting locations for roof rack
If luggage or cargo is to be carried on the roo f,
you
must observe the following:
- Your vehicle
has aerodynamic rain channels
molded into the roof. This is why conventional
roof luggage racks cannot be used. We recom
mend using roof rails from the Audi original ac
cessories
program.
- These roof rails are the basis for a complete
roof rack system. For safety reasons, some ad
ditional attachments are necessary to transport
luggage, bicycles, surf boards, skis and small
boats safely. All these components are availa
ble at your authorized Audi dealer.
-The permitted roof load for your vehicle is 165
lbs (75 kg). The roof load is a combination of
the weight of the carrier system and the cargo.
-
When using roof rack systems with a lower load
capacity, you cannot use the maximum permis
s ible
roof load. In this case, the roof rack can
only be
loaded to the weight limit give n in the
installation guide.
Installation
When installing the support feet, make sure they
are only placed in the positioning bolt area be
tween the side wall frame and the roof frame
trim ~fig. 50. The positioning bolt is visible as
soon as you push the sealing lip back from the
room frame trim using the designated tool.
Seats and storage
A WARNING
iu=
-The cargo must be securely attached on the
roof rack, otherwise you increase the risk of
an accident.
-
You must under no circumstances exceed
the permissible roof load, the permissible
axle
loads and the permissible overall
weight of your vehicle because this increas
es the risk of an accident.
-
Please note that there is a higher risk of col
lision
when transporting heavy objects or
objects with a large surface on the roof rack,
since the handling characteristics
change
due to a shift in the center of gravity or the
g reater surface area exposed to the wind. So
adapt your driving and speed to the actual
conditions.
If you use other roof luggage rack systems or
do not install the racks as intended, any dam
age to the vehicle is not covered by the war
ranty. Carefully follow the assembly and in
stallation instructions included with the roof
rack carrier system.
¢!/) For the sake of the environment
A
roof rack is often left mounted out of con
venience even if
it is no longer used. Your ve
hicle will use
more fuel due to the increased
wind
resistance. So remove the roof rack after
us ing it.
