Always read and follow the instructions pro-
vided by the roof rack manufacturer when
installing 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. Additional
attachments
or carrier systems are needed
to transport luggage a nd sports equ ipment .
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 ¢ fig. 72 or ¢ fig. 73 .
- We recommend that you keep the installa-
tion instructions for your roof rack system
together with your Owner 's literature in the
veh icle .
