Roof rack
Description and mounting locations
Additional cargo can be carried with a roof
luggage rack .
Fig. 53 Roof rack attachment point s
.,. Always read and follow the instructions pro-
vided by the roof rack manufacturer when
insta lling the roof rack system.
If luggage or cargo is to be carried on the
roof, you must observe the following:
- Only use roof racks approved for your vehi·
cle. These approved roof racks are the basis
for a complete roof rack system. Add itional
attachments
or carrier systems are needed
to transport luggage and sports equipment.
We recommend using roof racks from the
Audi original accessories program.
- When installing the roof rack, make sure it
is only mounted on the designated locations
on the roof c:;> f ig. 53.
- We recommend that you keep the installa·
t ion instructions for your roof rack system
together with your Owner's literature in the
vehicle.
Wh en should th e roof rack be removed?
- Before going through an automatic car wash
(it is best to ask the car wash operator for
advice).
- When not in use, to reduce fue l consump -
tion, wind noise and to guard against theft.
A
WARNING

rect mount ing of an approved roof rack

can cause the roof rack or the items at·
tached to it to fall off the roof onto the
road.
- Objects falling from the roof of a vehicle
can cause a crash and personal injury.
- Only mount the roof rack on the desig-
nated locations on the roof ¢ fig . 53.
- The roof rack system must be installed
exactly according to the instruct ions pro·
vided.
- When driving with a roof rack system,
changes to the center of gravity and wind
resistance can change the vehicle han·
dling and lead to a collision. Always
adapt your driving and your speed to the
current conditions .
(D
Note
- Your vehicle warranty does not cover any
damages to the vehicle caused by using
roof racks or mounting structures not
approved by Audi for your veh icle. The
same app lies to damage resul t ing from
incor rect roof rack insta llation.
- Always check the roof rack mountings
and hardware before each trip and dur-
ing a trip t o make s ure everyth ing is se-
curely tightened. If necessary, retighten
the mountings and check the entire sys-
tem from time to time .
- After mounting a roof rack system, or
when you transport objects on the roof
of your vehicle, the height of the vehicle
is naturally increased. Be careful when
dr iving under low bridges or in parking
garages for example . This could cause
damage to the load and even the vehicle
itself.
- Make sure the open rear lid and the sun·
roof* do not come into contact with the
roof rac k.
