Roof rack
General information
Applies to: vehicles with roof rack mount
Fig. 89 Roof rail: mounting points
If luggage or cargo is to be carried on the roof,
you must observe the following:
— These roof racks are the basis for a complete
roof rack system. Only roof racks that are suita-
ble for your vehicle may be used. Audi recom-
mends roof racks and attachments from the
Audi Genuine Accessories program.
~ Make sure the roof rack is mounted on the vehi-
cle only at the specified locations © fig. 89.
— Note the permitted axle load, permitted total
weight, and permitted roof load of your vehicle
© page 327. The roof load is the total of the
90
weight of the 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.
— Follow the installation instructions provided
with 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 an accident.
~The risk of an accident increases when using
a roof rack system, because it changes the
driving characteristics by shifting the center
of gravity and/or the increasing the surface
area exposed to wind. You may need to
adapt your driving style and speed to the
current conditions. Audi recommends that
you do not drive faster than 80 mph (130
km/h).
~ Distribute the cargo evenly on the roof rack
and do not exceed the maximum width or
the maximum total roof load weight.
~ Before every trip, all bolts and connections
on the roof rack must be checked. Tighten
them if necessary and recheck them regular-
ly. If you do not do this, there is a higher risk
of the roof rack or the attachments loosen-
ing or falling off.
— If you use other roof luggage rack systems
or do not install the roof racks as specified,
then any damage to the vehicle is not cov-
ered by the warranty. Carefully follow the
assembly and installation instructions in-
cluded with the roof rack carrier system.
~To reduce the risk of damage, you must re-
move the roof rack and attachment before
taking your vehicle through an automatic
carwash.
— Make sure that the luggage compartment
lid and the panoramic glass roof* do not
come into contact with objects on the roof
when they are open.
