App lies to: Coupe
F ig . 9 2 Roof : mo untin g po int s fo r the roo f rack
Applies to: Sportback
F ig. 93 Roo f: mo unti ng po ints for the roof ra ck
If luggage or cargo is to be ca rried on the roof ,
you mus t observe the following:
- Only a specially designed roof rack may be used
on your veh icle . T hese roof racks are the basis
for a complete roof rack system. Additional at­
tachments/car rier systems are necessa ry to
transport luggage and sports equipment. We
recommend roof racks and attachments from
the Audi Genuin e Accessories program .
- When installing the roof rack, make sure that it
is mounted only at the designated po ints on
the roof ¢
fig. 92 or¢ fig . 93.
- The maxim um permitted roof load for yo ur v e­
hicle is 165 lbs (75 kg) (Coupe) or 200 lbs
(90 kg) (Spo rtback) . T he roof load is the total
of the we ight of the roof rack, the attachments
80
and the cargo you are carrying. However , please
not e the permissib le load of the carrier system
being used, the permissible axle loads and the
permissible total vehicle weight
q page 386 .
A WARNING
-Follow the installation instructions provided
w ith the roof rack system. If you do not se ­
cure the roof rack system and objects on the
roof correctly, they could come loose from
the vehicle and ca use an accident .
- The risk of an acc ident increases when using
a roof rack system, because it changes the
driving characterist ics by shifting the ce nter
of grav ity and/or the increasing the surface
area exposed to wind . Adapt your driving
and speed to the current conditions.
Q) Note
Make sure that the luggage compartment lid
and the p anorama g lass roo f* do not come in­
to contact with objects o n the roof when they
are open .
@ For the sake of the environment
Your vehicl e wi ll use more fue l due to the in­
creased wind resistance . So remove the roof
rack after using it.
