Roof rack*
installation
First things first
A
roof rack can be used to
carry
additional
luggage on the
roof There are two different roof
rack
systems.
Separate roof
racks
are needed for vehicles without
roof rails.
Vehicles
with standard roof rails* need additional
cross
bars
to carry
cargo. Both
types of additional
equipment
are
avail-
able at your
authorized Audi dealer.
- Always read and
follow
t he
instructions provided
by
the
roof
rack
manufacturer when
the
roof rack system
must
be
installed.
If a
roof rack
or s imilar luggage carrying equipment is to be installed,
please note the following:
Vehicles
without
roof rails
•
Your vehicle has
aerodynamic
rain gutters molded into the roof.
That is why only
roof racks
spec ially designed for the roof can be used.
We recommend using roof racks from the Audi orig inal accessories
program.
•
These roof racks are the basis
for
a complete roof
rack
system. For
safety
reasons,
some
additional
attachments
are
necessary
to
trans-
port luggage, bicycles, surf boards, skis and small boats safely. All
these components are available at
your
a
uthor
ized Audi
dealer.
Vehicle
with
roof rails
•
The veh icle is equ ipped with
integrated roof railings,
which
can
be
covered into roof rack by installing cross bars. Only install cross bars
specifically
designed for
t
his vehicle.
•
These bars are the basis
for
a complete
roof rack
system. Addi-
tional
atta
chments
are necessary
t
o safely
transport
luggage,
bicy-
cles, surf boards, skis or small boats.
•
All
necessary hardware
for
these
systems is available from your
authorized
Audi
dea ler.
When
should
the roof rack be removed?
•
Before going through an automatic car wash (it is
best
to ask the
car
wash operator)
•
When
not in use (reduce fuel consumption, reduce wind noise and
guard
against
theft)
&
WARNING
•
Use of an unapproved roof
rack
or
incorrect
mounting of an
approved roof rack
can cause
the roof
rack or
the

carried
on
it to fall off the roof onto the road
.

Objects falling
from
the
roof of a vehicle
