Roof rack
First things first
A roof rack can be fitted to carry additional
luggage on the roof.
.. Always read and follow the instructions pro -
vided by the roof rack manufacturer when
installing the roof rack system .
If you are transporting luggage or other ob-
jects on the roof, please note the following :
- Your vehicle has spec ially designed aerody-
namic roof rails. Only install a roof rack spe-
cifically designed for your model. Contact
the nearest authorized Audi dealer for infor-
mat ion on approved modula r roof racks for
your veh icle.
- These approved roof racks are the basis for a
complete roof rack system. Additional at-
tachments for the basic roof rack are neces-
sary to safely transport luggage, bicycles,
surf boards, skis or small boats. All necessa-
ry hardware for these systems is available at
your authorized Audi dealer.
- We recommend that you keep the installa-
tion instructions for your roof rack system
together with your Owner's literature in the
veh icle.
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 consump-
tion, wind noise and to guard against theft.
A WARNING
