General information

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 suitable
for your vehicle may be used. Audi recommends
roof racks and attachments from the
Audi Genuine Accessories program.
- Make sure the roof rack is mounted on the vehicle
only at the specified locations > fig. 87.
- Note the permitted axle load, permitted total
weight, and permitted roof load of your vehicle. The roof load is the total
of the
weight of the roof rack, the attachments and
the cargo you are carrying. However, you must
also note the permitted load of the carrier system
being used.
WARNING
Note
- 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 covered
by the warranty. Carefully follow the
assembly and installation instructions included
with the roof rack carrier system.
- To reduce the risk of damage, you must remove
the roof rack and attachment before taking your vehicle through an automatic
car wash.
- 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.
For the sake of the environment
Energy usage will increase because of the increased
wind resistance. Remove the roof rack
when you are no longer using it.
