Fig . 64 Attachment poi nts for the roof rack
If luggage or cargo is to be carried on the roof,
you must observe the following :
- Only a specia lly designed roof rack may be used
on your veh icle. These roof racks are the basis
for a complete roof rack system. Additional at -
tachments/carrier systems are necessary to
transport luggage and sports equipment. We
recommend roof racks and attachments from
the Audi Genu ine Accessor ies program.
- When installing the roof rack, make sure that it
is mounted only at the designated points on
the roof
i:> fig. 64 .
- Note the perm itted axle load, permitted total
weight, and permitted roof load of your vehicle
<=> page 246 . The roof load is the tota l of the
weight of t he roof rack, the attachments and
the cargo you are carrying. However, you must
also note the permitted load of the carrier sys-
tem being used .

wit h the roof rack system. If you do not se-
cure the roof rack system and objects on the

- Using a roof rack system increases the risk
of an accident, because it changes the ve hi-
cle handling characte rist ics wh ile driving by

creasing the sur face area exposed to wind .
You may need to adapt your driving sty le
