switched on. To prevent engine damage, p lease
observe the following notes about the tempera
ture ranges.
Cold rang e
If o nly the L EDs in the left area of the gauge turn
on, the engine has not reached operating tem
perature yet. Avoid high engine speeds, full ac
celerating and heavy engine loads .
Normal range
The engine has reached its operating tempera
ture once the LEDs up to the center of the gauge
turn on . If the . indicator light in the Infotain
ment system display turns on, the coolant tem
perature is too high

(D Note
-Aux iliary head lights and other accessories in
front of the coo ling-a ir intake impa ir the
cooling effect o f the coolant. This increases
the risk of the engine overheating during high outside temperatures and heavy en
gine load.
- T he front spoiler a lso helps to distribute
cooling air correctly while driving . If the
spoiler is damaged, the cooling effect will
be impaired and the risk of the eng ine over
heating w ill increase. See an authorized
Audi dealer or author ized Audi Service Fa
cility for assistance .
Fuel level
The indicator @ only func tions when the ignition
i s sw itched on. If the fuel level drops below 1.9
gal (7

Roof rack
The roof rack must only be secured in the posi
tioning bolt area.
Fig . SO Mount ing locat ions fo r roof rac k
If luggage or cargo is to be carried on the roof,
you must observe the following:
- Yo ur vehicle has ae rodynami c rain channels
molded in to the roof . T h is is why convent ional
roo f luggage racks ca nnot be used . We recom
mend using roof rails from the Aud i Genu ine
Accessories program.
- These roof rai ls are the bas is 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 yo ur authorized Aud i dealer .
- The permitted roof load for your veh icle 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
o nly be loaded to the weight lim it given in the
i nstallation guide.
Inst allation
When installing the support feet, make sure they
are only placed in the positioning bolt area be
tween the side wa ll 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 tr im us ing t he des igna ted tool.

A WARNING
- The cargo must be secure ly attached on the
roof rack; otherw ise you increase the r isk of
an accident .
- You must u nder no circ umstances exceed
the permissible roof load, the permissible
axle loads o r the pe rm issib le overa ll we ight
of yo ur vehicle be cause this increases the
ris k of an a cc iden t.
- Please note that there is a h igher r is k of an
accident when transporting heavy objec ts or
objec ts wi th a l arge sur face on the roof r ack,
since the handling characterist ics change
due to a shift in the center of gravity or the
greater surface area exposed to the wind . So
adapt your driving and speed to the actual
conditions.
(D Note
If yo u use ot her roof l uggage rack systems or
do not install the racks as intended, any dam
age to the vehicle is not covered by the war ranty . Carefu lly 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 w ill use more fue l due to the inc reased
wind res istance. So remove t he roof rack after
u sing it.
