- Only a special ly desig ned roof rack may be used
on your vehicle. These roof racks are the basis
for a complete roof rack system. Additional at -
tachm e nts/carrier systems are necessary to
transport luggage and sports equipment . We
recommend roof racks and attachments from
the Audi Genuine Accessor ies program .

is mounted only at the designated points on
the roof

220 lbs (100 kg) . The roof load is the total of
the weight of the roof rack, the attachments
