The coat hooks are designed only for light-
weight clothing . Never hang any clothing
with hard, pointed or heavy objects in the
pockets on the coat hooks. During sudden
braking or in an accident - especially if the
airbag is deployed - these objects could in-
jure any passengers inside the vehicle.
- To reduce the risk of personal injury in an ac-
cident or sudden stop, always keep the
glove compartment closed while dr iving.
- Read and follow all WARNINGS
¢
page 163, Important safety instructions
on the side airbag system.
- Hang clothes in such a way that they do not
impair the driver's vision.
- The coat hooks must only be used for light-
we ight clothing . Do not leave any heavy or
sharp edged objects in the pockets which
may int erfere with the s ide curtain airbag
deployment and can cause personal injury in
a crash .
- Do not use coat hangers for hanging cloth-
ing on the coat hooks as this can interfere
with proper deployment of the side curtain
airbags in an accident.
- Do not hang heavy objects on the coat
hooks, as they could cause personal injury in
a sudden stop.

.,. Always read and follow the instructions provid-
ed by the roof rack manufacturer when instal-
ling 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 vehicle .
These approved roof racks are the basis for a
complete roof rack system . Additional attach-
ments or carrier systems are needed to trans-
port luggage and sports equipment. We recom-
mend 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>
fig. 63.
- We recommend that you keep the installation
instructions for your roof rack system together
with your Owner's literature in the vehicle .
When should the 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 fuel consumption,
wind noise and to guard against theft.
A
WARNING
,...___
- Use of an unapproved roof rack or incorrect
mounting of an approved roof rack can
cause the roof rack or the items attached to
it to fall off the roof onto the road.
