Note the following points if you intend to carry loads on the roof:
  • The rain channels are moulded into the roof as part of the aerodynamic roof design. It is therefore not possible to mount conventional roof luggage racks. We recommend using the carrier units from the range of Audi Genuine accessories.
  • These carrier units form the basic elements of a complete roof carrier system. Special fixtures must then be added in order to safely transport luggage, bicycles, skis, surf boards or boats on the roof. All the elements of this system are available from Audi dealers.
  • The maximum permissible roof load for your vehicle is 75 kg. The load limit applies to the combined weight of the carrier system and the load itself.
  • It will not be possible to carry the full maximum load if the roof carrier you are using is rated for a load which is less than this figure. Do not exceed the maximum weight limit for the roof carrier, which is listed in the fitting instructions.
Mounting
The feet of the carrier units must be fitted exactly in the area of the locating pins between the side frame and the roof frame trim Fig. 67►. The locating pins come into view when you push the sealing lip back off the roof frame trim using the tool provided for this purpose.
WARNING
  • To prevent accidents, loads carried on the roof must be securely attached.
  • Do not exceed the maximum roof load for the vehicle, the maximum axle loads or the maximum gross vehicle weight, as this could cause an accident.
  • When transporting heavy or bulky loads on the roof, bear in mind that the car s handling is affected by the extra weight on the roof and a possible susceptibility to cross winds. Adjust your speed and driving style accordingly to avoid accidents.
CAUTION
Any damage to the vehicle caused by the use of other types of roof rack or incorrect installation will not be covered by the factory warranty. The roof carrier system must therefore be installed exactly according to the instructions provided.
For the sake of the environment
Roof carriers are often left attached for convenience, even when they are not being used. However, the increased air resistance means that the vehicle uses more fuel. For this reason you should always take off the roof carrier when it is not in use.
