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 1.
- 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
- Follow the installation instructions provided
with the roof rack system. If you do not secure
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.
Note
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.
