Luggage Compartment; Roof Rack - Audi TT Coupe 2016 Owner's Manual

Roof rack
The roof rack must only be secured in the posi-
tioning bolt area.
Fig. 50 Mounting locations for roof rack
If luggage or cargo is to be carried on the roof,
you must observe the following:
- Your vehicle has aerodynamic rain channels
molded into the roof. This is why conventional
roof luggage racks cannot be used. We recom-
mend using roof rails from the Audi original ac-
cessories program.
- These roof rails are the basis for a complete
roof rack system. For safety reasons, some ad-
ditional attachments are necessary to transport
luggage, bicycles, surf boards, skis and small
boats safely. All these components are availa-
ble at your authorized Audi dealer.
- The permitted roof load for your vehicle is 165
lbs (75 kg). The roof load is a combination of
the weight of the carrier system and the cargo.
- When using roof rack systems with a lower load
capacity, you cannot use the maximum permis-
s ible roof load. In this case, the roof rack ca n
only be loaded to the weight lim it given in the
installation guide.
Installation
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
~ fig. 50.
The positioning bolt is visible as
soon as you push the sealing lip back from the
room frame trim using the designated tool.

A
WARNING
iu=
- The cargo must be securely attached on the
roof rack, otherwise you increase the risk of
an accident.
- You must under no circumstances exceed
the permissible roof load, the permissible
axle loads and the permissible overall
weight of your vehicle because this increas-
es the risk of an accident.
- Please note that there is a higher risk of col-
lision when transporting heavy objects or
objects with a large surface on the roof rack,
since t he handling characteristics change
d ue to a shift in the center of gravity or the
g reater surface a rea exposed to the wind. So
adapt your driving and speed to the actual
conditions.
If you use other roof luggage rack systems or
do not install the racks as intended, any dam-
age to the vehicle is not covered by the war-
ranty. Carefully follow the assembly and in-
stallation instructions included with the roof
rack carrier system.

For the sake of the environment
A roof rack is often left mounted out of con-
venience even if it is no longer used. Your ve-
hicle will use more fuel due t o the increased
wind resistance. So remove the roof rack after
us ing it.
