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.

A WARNING
r-=-
To help prevent poisonous exhaust gas from
being drawn into the vehicle, always keep the
rear lid closed while driving.
- Never
transport objects larger than those
fitting completely into the luggage area be
cause the rear lid cannot be fully closed.
-
If you absolutely must drive with the rear lid
open, observe the following notes to reduce
the risk of poisoning:
-
Close all windows,
-
Open all air outlets in the instrument pan-
el,
-Switch off the air recirculation,
-
Set the fresh air fan to the highest speed.
A WARNING
Always make sure that the doors, all windows
and the rear lid are securely closed and locked
to reduce the risk of injury when the vehicle is
not being used.
- After closing
the rear lid, always make sure
that it is properly closed and locked.
- Never leave your vehicle
unattended espe
cially with the rear lid left open. A child
could crawl into
the vehicle through the lug
gage compartment and close the rear lid be
coming trapped and unable to get out. Be
ing trapped in a vehicle can lead to serious
personal injury.
- Nev er
let children play in or around the vehi
cle.
- Never
let passengers ride in the luggage
compartment. Vehicle occupants must al
ways be properly restrained in one of the ve
hicle's seating positions.
(D Tips
-Air circulation helps to reduce window fog
ging. Stale air escapes to the outside
through vents in the trim panel, on the left
side of the luggage compartment. Be sure
to keep these slots free and open.
Safe driving
-The tire pressure must correspond to the
load. The tire pressure is shown on the tire
pressure label. The tire pressure label is lo
cated on the driver's side B-pillar. The tire
pressure label lists the recommended cold
tire inflation
pressures for the vehicle at its
maximum capacity
weight and the tires that
were on your vehicle at the time it was man
ufactured. For recommended tire pressures
for normal load conditions, please see chap
ter r:;. page 261.
Tie-down s
The luggage compartment is equipped with four
ti e-downs to secure luggage
and other items.
Fig. 144 Location of the tie-downs in the luggage com
partment
Use the tie-downs to secure your cargo properly
r:;. page 176, Loading the luggage compartment.
In a collision, the laws of physics mean that even
smaller items that are loose in the vehicle will
become heavy missiles that can cause serious in
jury . Items in the vehicle possess energy which
vary with vehicle
speed and the weight of the
item. Vehicle speed is the most significant factor.
For example, in a frontal collision at a speed of
30 mph (48 km/h), the forces acting on a 10 lbs
(4.5 kg) object
are about 20 times the normal
weight of the item. This means that the weight
of the item would suddenly be about
200 lbs (90 kg). You can imagine the injuries that
a 200 lbs (90 kg) item flying freely through the
passenger compartment could cause in a colli
sion like this.
