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.

tions that could interfere with the pedals or im­
pair
safe operation of your vehicle in other ways.
&. WARNING
--9
Pedals that cannot move freely can result in a
loss
of vehicle control and increase the risk of
serious personal injury.
- Always make
sure that floor mats are prop­
erly
secured.
- Never place or install floor mats or other
floor coverings in the vehicle that cannot be
properly
secured in place to prevent them
from slipping and interfering with the ped­
als or the ability to control the vehicle.
- Never place or insta ll floor
mats or other
floor coverings on top of already installed
floor
mats. Additional floor mats and other
coverings will reduce the size of the pedal
area and interfere with the pedals.
- Always properly
reinstall and secure floor
mats that have been taken out for cleaning.
-Always make sure that objects cannot fall
into
the driver footwell while the vehicle is
moving. Objects can become trapped under
the brake pedal and accelerator pedal caus­
ing a loss of vehicle control.
Stowing Luggage
Loading the luggage compartment
All luggage and other objects must be properly
stowed and secured in the luggage compart­
ment.

it m
Loose items in the luggage compartment can
shift suddenly, changing vehicle handling charac­
teristics. Loose
items can also increase the risk of
serious personal injury in a sudden vehicle ma­
neuver or in a collision .
• Distribute
the load evenly in the luggage com­
partment.
•Always place and properly secure heavy items in
the luggage compartment as far forward as
possible q fig. 143.
•Secure luggage using the tie-downs provided
qpage 177.
•Make sure that the rear seatback is securely
latched in place.
A WARNING
Improperly stored luggage or other items can
fly
through the vehicle causing serious per­
sonal injury in the event of hard braking or an
accident. To help reduce the risk of serious
personal injury:
- Always
put objects, for example, luggage or
other heavy items in the luggage compart­
ment.
-Always secure objects in the luggage com­
partment using the tie-down hooks and
suitable straps.
A WARNING
Heavy loads will influence the way your vehi­
cle
handles. To help reduce the risk of a loss
of control leading to serious personal injury:
-Always keep in m ind when transporting
heavy objects,
that a change in the center of
gravity can also cause changes in vehicle
handling:
- Always
distribute the load as evenly as
possible.
- Place heavy
objects as far forward in the
luggage compartment as possible.
- Never exceed
the Gross Axle Weight Rating
or the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating specified
on the safety compliance sticker on the left
door jamb. Exceeding permissible weight
standards can cause the vehicle to slide and
hand le differently. ..,.

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.

Why safety belts?
Frontal collisions and the law of physics
Frontal crashes create very
strong forces for peo­
ple riding in vehicles.

Safety belt s
The physical principles are simple. Both the vehi­
cle and
the passengers possess energy which var­
ies with vehicle
speed and body weight. Engi­
neers call this energy "kinetic energy."
The higher the speed of the vehicle and the
greater the vehicle's weight, the more energy
that has to be "absorbed" in the crash.
Vehicle speed is the most significan t factor. If
the speed doubles from 15 to 30 mph (25 to 50
km/h), the energy increases 4 times!
B ecau
se the passengers of t his vehicle are not us­
ing
saf e ty belts~ fig. 146, they will keep moving
at the same speed the vehicle was moving just
before the crash, until something stops them -
here, the wall~ fig. 147.
The same principles apply to people sitting in a
vehicle
that is invo lved in a frontal co llision. Even
at city speeds of 20 to 30 mph (30 to 50 km/h),
the forces acting on the body can reach one ton
(2,000 lbs, or 1,000 kg) or more. At higher
speeds, these forces are even greater.
People who do not use safety belts are also not
attached to thei r vehicle. In a frontal coll is ion
they will also keep moving forward at the speed
their vehicle was travelling just before the crash .
Of course, the laws of physics don't just apply to
frontal collisions , they determine what happens
in all kinds of accide nts and collisions .

The Advanced Airbag System in your vehicle has
been certified to comply with the Requirements
of United States Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard 208 as applicable at the time your vehi­
cle
was manufactured.
The
Standard requires the front airbag on the
passenger side to be turned off ("suppressed") if
a child up
to about one year of age restrained in
one of the rear-facing or forward-facing infant re­
straints listed in Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard 208 with which the Advanced Airbag
System in your vehicle was certified has been in­
stalled on the front passenger seat. For a listing
of the child restraints that were used to certify
compliance with the US Safety Standard

The PA SSENGER AIR BAG OFF light in the over­
head console tells you when the front Advan ced
Airbag on the passenger side has been turned off
by the electronic control unit.
E ach ti
me you turn on the igni tion, the PASSEN­
GER
AIR BAG OFF l ight will come on fo r a few
seconds and:
- will stay on if the front passenger seat is not
occupied,
- will
stay on if the electrical capacitance meas­
u red by the capacitive passenger detection sys­
tem fo r th e fron t passenger seat equals the
combined capaci tance of an infant up to about
one year of age and one of the rearward-facing
or forward-facing child restraints listed in Fed­
eral Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 208 with
which the Advanced Airbag System in your vehi­
cle
was certifi ed. For a listing of the child re­
straints that were used to certify your vehicle's
compliance with the U .S . Safety Standard

straint on the front passenger seat,
- will go off if the front passenger seat is occu­
pied by
an adult as registered by the capacitive
passenger detection system<=!> page 199, Mon­
itoring the Advanced Airbag System.
The PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF light comes on
when electrical capacitance registered on the
front passenger seat is equal to or less than the
190
combined capacitance of a typical 1 year-old in­
fant and one of the rearward-facing or forward­
facing child restraints listed in Federal Motor Ve­
hicle
Safety Standard 208 w ith which the Ad­
vanced Airbag
System in your vehicle was certi­
fied .
If the total electrica l capacitance registered on
the front passenger seat is more than that of a
typi ca l 1 year-old child but less than the weight
of a small adult, the front airbag on the passen­
ger side can deploy (the PASSENGER AIR BAG
OFF light does not come on).
If the PAS SENGER AIR BAG OFF light does not
come on, the front airbag on the passenger side
has not been turned off by the electronic con trol
u
nit and can depl oy if the control unit senses an
impact that meets the conditions stored in its
memory .
For example, the airbag may deploy if:
- a small child that is heavier than a typical 1
year-old child is
on the front passenger seat
(regardless of whether the child is in one of the
child safety seats l isted<=:> page 214), or
- a child who has outgrown child restraints is on
the front passenger seat.
If the front passenger airbag is turned off, the
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF ligh t comes on in the
overhead console and stays on.
If the front passenger airbag deploys, the Feder­
al Standard requires the airbag to meet the "low
risk"
deployment criteria to reduce the r isk of in­
jury through interaction w ith the airbag. "Low
risk "
deployment occurs in those crashes that
take place at lower decelerations as defined in
the electronic co ntrol unit<=!> page 200, PASSEN­
G ER AIR BAG OFF light.
Always remember, a child seat or infant carrier
installed on the front seat may be struck and
k nocked out of positio n by the rapidly inflating
passenger's airbag i n a frontal collision. The a ir­
bag cou ld greatly reduce the effectiveness of the
child restraint and even seriously injure the child
d uring inflation .

The
PASSEN GER AIR BAG OFF light comes on
when the electronic control unit detects a total
electrical capacitance on the front passenger seat
that requires the front airbag to be turned off. If

of injury through interaction with the airbag.
"Low risk" deployment occurs in those crashes
that take place at lower decelerations as defined
in the electronic control unit ¢page 199.
Always remember: Even though your vehicle is
equipped with Advanced Airbags, the safest place
fo r childre n is properly restrained on the back
seat. Please be sure to read the important infor ­
mation in the sections that follow and be sure to
heed all of the WARNINGS.
A WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury when an airbag in­
flates, always wear safety belts properly.
-
If you are unrestrained, leaning forward, sit·
ting sideways or out of position in any way,
your risk of injury is much higher.
- You will
also receive serious injuries and
could even be killed if you are up against the
airbag or too close to it when it inflates -
even
with an Advanced Airbag~ page 188.
A WARNING
A child in a rearward-facing child seat instal­
led on the front passenger seat will be seri­
ously injured and can be killed if the front air­
bag inflates· even with an Advanced Airbag
System.
-Although the Advanced Airbag System in
your vehicle is designed to turn off the front
airbag when a rearward-facing child re­
straint has been installed on the front pas­
senger seat, nobody can absolutely guaran­
tee that deployment is impossible in all con­
ceivable situations that may happen during
the useful life of your vehicle.
