- Do not hang heavy objects on the coat
hooks, as they could cause personal injury in
a sudden stop.

Roof rack
Applies to: vehicles with roof rack
Fig. 78 Attachment points for the roof rack
If luggage or cargo is to be carried on the roof,
you must observe the following:
- Only a specially 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
c::> fig . 78.
- The permissible roof load for your vehicle is
220 lbs (100 kg) . The roof load is the total of
the weight of the roof rack, the attachments
and the cargo you are carrying. However, you
S e ats and s torag e
must also note the pe rmitted load of the carri -
er system being used . For the permitted axle
load and the permitted tota l vehicle weight,
see
Q page 333.
A WARNING
- Follow the installation instruct ions provided
wit h the roof rack system . If you do not se-
cure the roof rack system and objects on the
roof correctly, they could come loose from
the vehicle and cause a n accident.
- Using a roof rack system increases the risk
of an acc iden t , because it changes the driv-
ing characte risti cs by shifting the center of
gravity and/or the increasing the sur face
area exposed to wind. Adapt your driving
and speed to the current cond itions.
CD Note
Make su re that t he open luggage compart-
ment lid and the t ilt ing/slid ing sun roof* do
not come into contact with objects on the
roof.
@ For the sake of the environment
Your vehicle will use more fue l due to the in-
creased wind resistance. So remove the roof
rack after using it.
