» Use the tie-downs to secure the cargo.
Fig. 75 Luggage compartment: foam piece
Follow the safety precautions > page 64.
> Remove the cargo floor > page 241.
> Remove the plastic floor panel > fig. 74.
> Turn the handle counter-clockwise to remove
and remove the foam piece.
>» Remove the spare tire.
> Reinsert the foam piece and turn the handle
clockwise to tighten.
> Now reinsert the cargo floor.
Z\ WARNING
Please note that you are no longer mobile in
the event of a flat tire. Please note the legal
regulations before removing the spare tire.
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
67
>
Stowing and using
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.

Driving
Driving
General information
A new vehicle must be broken in within the first
1,000 miles (1,500 km) so that all moving parts
work smoothly together, which helps to increase
the service life of the engine and other drive com-
ponents.
Do not drive higher than two-thirds of the maxi-
mum permitted engine RPM during the first 600
miles (1,000 km) and do not use full accelera-
tion. The engine can be increased RPM gradually
during the next 300 miles (S00 km).
® Note
Your Audi is not designed for towing a trailer.
Damage caused by towing a trailer is not cov-
ered by the warranty.
Reducing the risk of vehicle damage
@) Note
When driving on poor roads, over curbs, and
on steep ramps, make sure that components
that hang below the vehicle, such as the spoil-
er and exhaust system, are not struck because
they could be damaged. This especially ap-
plies
to vehicles with low ground clearance
and vehicles that are heavily loaded.
Driving through water
If you must drive through water, follow these in-
structions:
— Check the stability of the ground, the current,
and the water depth. If the ground is unstable,
there is a strong current, or there are waves,
the water must only reach up to the lower edge
of the body at the most.
— Drive carefully and no faster than at walking
speeds to prevent the front of the vehicle from
creating waves, because they could splash
74
above the lower edge of the body. Oncoming
vehicles could also create waves.
— Do not stop the vehicle while in the water.
— Drive in reverse.
— Do not turn the engine off.
ZA\ WARNING
After driving through water, press the brake
pedal carefully to dry the brakes so that the
full braking effect will be restored.
C) Note
Vehicle components such as the engine, drive
system, suspension, or electrical system can
be severely damaged by driving through wa-
wel
G@) Tips
If possible, avoid driving through salt water
because it increases the risk of corrosion. Use
fresh water to clean any vehicle components
that come into contact with salt water.

driving
The amount of fuel consumption, the environ-
mental impact, and the wear to the engine,
brakes, and tires depends mostly on your driving
style. Note the following information for efficient
and environmentally-conscious driving:
— Turn off electrical equipment that is not need-
ed, for example seat heating*.
— Anticipate upcoming traffic situations while
driving to avoid unnecessary acceleration and
braking.
— Avoid driving at high speeds.
— Avoid adding extra weight to the vehicle if pos-
sible, for example by not leaving roof racks or
bike racks installed when they are not needed.
— Make sure the tire pressure is correct.
— Have maintenance performed regularly on the
vehicle.
— Do not let the engine run while the vehicle
parked.
— Do not drive with winter tires during the summ-
er.
