Roof rack

Applies to: vehicles with roof rack mount

BFV-0078

Fig. 76 Mounting locations for roof rack
If luggage or cargo is to be carried on the roof,
you must observe the following:
— The roof rack must only be secured in the posi-
tioning bolt area.
— These roof racks are the basis for a complete
roof rack system. Only roof racks that are suita-
ble for your vehicle may be used. Roof racks and
attachments from the Audi Genuine Accesso-
ries program are recommended.
— When installing the roof rack, make sure that it
is mounted only at the designated points on
the roof > fig. 76.
— Note the permitted axle load, permitted total
weight, and permitted roof load of your vehicle
=> page 263. The roof load is the total of the
weight of the roof rack, the attachments and
the cargo you are carrying. However, you must
also note the permitted load of the carrier sys-
tem being used.

Z\ WARNING
The risk of an accident increases when using a
roof rack system, because it changes the

driving characteristics by shifting the center
of gravity and/or the increasing the surface
area exposed to wind. You may need to adapt
your driving style and speed to the current
conditions.

Make sure the luggage compartment lid does
not hit the cargo on the roof rack when you
open it.
Energy usage will increase because of the in-
creased wind resistance. Remove the roof rack
when you are no longer using it.
Installing the roof rack
Applies to: vehicles with roof rack mount
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 > page 67, fig. 76. The positioning bolt is
visible as soon as you push the sealing lip back
from the room frame trim using the designated
tool.

Follow the installation instructions provided
with the roof rack system. If you do not secure
the roof rack system and objects on the roof
correctly, they could come loose from the ve-
hicle and cause an accident.

been removed from old vehicles or
taken from recycling.

Lubricant in the A/C system
The exact specification and amount of lubricant
in the A/C system can be obtained from an au-
thorized Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service
Facility or at https://erwin.audiusa.com/erwin.

To ensure secure and safe operation, the A/C
system must only be serviced by qualified
technicians.

— Never repair the A/C system evaporator with
components from old vehicles or from recy-
cling.
— New replacement evaporators for portable
A/C systems must be certified and labeled
as such, so that they comply with the SAE
standard J2842 HFO-1234yf and R744.

Driving

> Place the selector lever in the “P” position.
> Turn the engine off > A\.
> Turn the steering wheel when parking on in-
clines so that the wheels will roll into the curb
if the vehicle starts moving.

ZA WARNING
— If the parking brake is set, it can release au-
tomatically when the accelerator pedal is
pressed. To reduce the risk of an accident,
do not inadvertently press the accelerator
pedal and always shift into “P” when the ve-
hicle is stopped.
— Emergency braking should only be used in
an emergency, when the when the standard
brake pedal is malfunctioning or obstructed.
During emergency braking, your vehicle will
brake similar to heavy braking. ESC and the
associated components (ABS, ASR, EDL) can-
not overcome the laws of physics. In corners
and when road or weather conditions are
bad, a full brake application can cause the
vehicle to skid or the rear end to swerve,
which increases the risk of an accident.
— If the power supply fails, you cannot set the
parking brake once it is released. In this
case, park the vehicle on level ground and
secure it by placing the selector lever in the
P position. See an authorized Audi dealer or
authorized Audi Service Facility for assis-
tance.
— If you leave the vehicle, switch the ignition
off and take the vehicle key with you. This
applies particularly when children remain in
the vehicle. Otherwise children could start
the
engine, release the parking brake or op-
erate electrical equipment such as power
windows, which increases the risk of an acci-
dent.
— No one should remain in the vehicle when it
is locked - especially children. Locked doors
make it more difficult for emergency work-
ers to get into the vehicle, which puts lives
at risk.

78
@) Note
Do not leave your vehicle unattended while
the engine is running, because this increases
the risk of an accident.
@) Tips
— Noises when the parking brake is set and re-
leased are normal and are not a cause for
concern.
— The parking brake goes through a self-test
cycle at regular intervals when the vehicle is
stopped. Any noises associated with this are
normal.
Starting to drive
Various convenience and safety functions may be
available when the vehicle begins driving, de-
pending on vehicle equipment.
Starting on hills with the parking brake set
Requirement: the driver's door must be closed.
> To start driving comfortably when on a hill, set
the parking brake and begin driving as usual.
The braking force of the parking brake does not
release automatically until the wheels build up
enough driving force.
Starting on hills with hill hold assist
If you take your foot off of the brake pedal when
driving on hills, the braking force will be held for
several seconds. At that time, you can start driv-
ing without the vehicle rolling backward.
Requirement: the driver's door must be closed,
the engine must be on, and the vehicle must be
traveling uphill.
> To activate hill hold assist, press and hold the
brake pedal for several seconds while the vehi-
cle is stationary.

ZX WARNING
—To reduce the risk of an accident, always
make sure the vehicle is situated safely
while stationary.
— If the parking brake is set, it can release au-
tomatically when the accelerator pedal is >

pressed. To reduce the risk of an accident,
do not inadvertently press the accelerator
pedal and always shift into “P” when the ve-
hicle is stopped.
— If the power supply fails, you cannot set the
parking brake once it is released, or release
it if it is set. In this case, park the vehicle on
level ground and secure it by engaging the
"P” gear. Contact an authorized Audi dealer
or authorized Audi Service Facility for assis-
tance.

ZA WARNING
— If you do not begin driving immediately af-
ter releasing the brake pedal, your vehicle
may begin to roll backward. Press the brake
pedal
or set the parking brake immediately.
— The hill hold assist cannot hold the vehicle
on inclines in every scenario (for example,


on slippery or icy ground).

Sporty driving
Applies to: RS model
When driving in a sporty style, for example ona
driving track, the wear on all vehicle components
is greatly increased, especially on the engine,
transmission, tires, brakes, and suspension. This
can result in increased wear. Also note the fol-
lowing points:
— Make sure the vehicle is in good condition.
Make sure to check the brake pads, tire tread,
and tire pressure (when tires are warm).
— Beforehand, warm up the engine by driving no
higher than two-thirds of the maximum permit-
ted engine RPM. The engine oil temperature
must be brought to a minimum of 140 °F
(60 °C).
— Before stopping the vehicle, allow the engine
and brakes to cool back down to a regular oper-
ating temperature by driving normally.
If necessary, use the following functions:
— Dynamic Audi drive select mode* > page 96
— Launch Control > page 84
— Limit ESC > page 106

@) Tips
Wear caused by load does not constitute a ve-
hicle fault as defined by the terms of the war-
ranty.
Automatic transmission
Introduction
Your vehicle is equipped with an electronically-
controlled DSG transmission called S tronic. Two
independent clutches transfer the power be-
tween the engine and transmission. It allows the
vehicle to accelerate without a noticeable inter-
ruption in traction.
The transmission shifts up or down automatically
depending on which drive program is selected.
When a moderate driving style is used, the
transmission selects the most economical driving
mode. The transmission upshifts at a lower RPM
and downshifts at a higher RPM to improve fuel
efficiency.
The transmission switches to a sporty mode after
a kick-down or when the driver uses a sporty driv-
ing style characterized by quick accelerator pedal
movements, heavy acceleration, frequent
changes in speed, and traveling at the maximum
speed.
If desired, the driver can also select the gears
manually (tiptronic mode) > page 83.

surfaces, which increases the risk of an acci-
dent.
@) Note
When accelerating using Launch Control, all
vehicle components are subject to heavy
loads. This can result in increased wear.
@ Tips
After accelerating using the Launch Control,
the temperature of some vehicle components
may increase greatly. If that happens, the
function will not be available for a few mi-
nutes to reduce the risk of damage. After a
cool-down period, Launch Control will be
available again.
