Roof rack
Description and mounting locations
Additional cargo can be carried with a roof
luggage rack.
F ig. 6 4 Roof r ack attac hment po ints
.., Always read and follow the instructions pro
vided by the roof rack manufa ctu rer when
installing the roof rack system. .,.
Page 64 of 314
62 Seat s a nd s tor ag e
If luggage or cargo is to be carried on the
roof, you must observe the follow ing:
- Only use roof racks approved for yo ur vehi
cle. These approved roof racks are the basis
for a complete roof rack system . Additional
attachments or carrier systems are needed
to transport luggage and sports equipment.
We recommend using roof racks from the
Audi original accessories program.
- When installing the roof rack, make sure it is only moun ted on the designated locations
on the
roof <=> fig. 64.
- We recommend that you keep the installa
tion instructions for your roof rack system
together with your Owner 's literature in the
vehicle .
When sh ould the roo f ra ck be remo ved ?
-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 no ise and to guard against theft .
A WARNING
-Use of an unapproved roof rack or incor
rect mount ing of an approved roof rack
can cause the roof rack or the items at
tached to it to fa ll off the roof onto the
road .
- Objects fall ing from the roof of a vehicle
can cause a crash and persona l injury.
- Only mount the roof rack on the desig
nated locations o n the roof <=>
fig. 64.
-The roof rack system must be installed
exactly according to the instructions pro
vided.
- When driving w ith a roof rack system,
changes to the center of g ravity and wind
resistance ca n change the veh icle han
dling and lead to a collision . A lways
adapt yo ur driving and you r speed to the
c u rrent conditions.
@ Note
- Your vehi cle warranty does not cover any
damages to the veh icle caused by using roof
racks or mounting structures not
approved by Audi for your vehicle . The
same app lies to damage resulting from
incorrect roof rack installation.
- Always check the roof rack mountings
and hardware before each trip and dur
ing a trip to make sure everyth ing is se
curely tightened . If necessary, ret ighten
the mountings and check the entire sys
tem from time to time .
- After mount ing a roof rack system, or
when you t ransport objects on the roof
of your vehicle, the heig ht of the veh icle
is natu rally increased. Be careful when
dr iving under low bridges or in par king
garages for example . This cou ld cause
damage to the load and eve n the vehicle
itself .
- Make sure the open rear lid and the sun
roof* do not come into contact with the
roof rack.
Loading the roof rack
Always distribute loads evenly. Make sure
anything on the roof rack is secur ely tied
down.
.. Always distribute the loads on the roof rack
even ly .
.. Always attach items to the roof rack s ecurely
before you drive off.
The maximum permissible roof weight is
2 20 lb (100 kg ). The roof weight is the total
of the weight of the roof rack, the attach
ments and the cargo you are carrying. You
must also not exceed the max imum load
weight for the roof rack you a re using.
When using a roof rack system which has a
lower load carrying capacity, you must not use
up the total maximum permissible load carry
ing capacity specified above . Instead, you
shou ld load the roof rack system only to the
maximum capacity specified by the manufac-
tu rer of the roof rack system. ..,.

_& WARNING
Weak, damaged or improper straps used
to secure items to the roof rack can fail
during hard braking or in a collision and
cause serious personal injury .
- Make sure the roof rack is installed exact
ly as specified above
c::;, page 61 .
-Always use suitable mounting straps for
securing items to the roof rack to help
prevent items from shift ing or fly ing for
ward.
- Items on the roof rack must always be
securely mounted .
- The use of a roof rack can negatively af
fect the way a vehicle handles . Cargo
that is large, heavy, bulky, long o r flat
will have a greater negative inf luence on
the vehicle 's aerodynamics, center of
gravity and overall handling . Always
drive slowly, avoid sudden braking and
maneuvers when transporting cargo on
the roof of your vehicle.
- Never exceed the maximum permissible
load carrying capacity of the roof of your
vehicle, the perm issible axle weights and
the permiss ible total weight of your vehi
cle
c::;, page 289, Weights .
@ For the sake of the environment
As a result of the increased wind resist
ance created by a roof rack, your veh icle is
using fuel unnecessarily. So remove the
roof rack after using it.

Warm and cold Climate controls
Description
App lies to vehicles: with three -zone cl imate contro l or
four -zone a uto mat ic climate contro l
The climate control system warms, cools and
adds humidity to the air in the vehicle interior.
It is the most effective when the windows and
sunroof* are closed . If the temperature inside
the parked veh icle becomes very warm, open
i ng the w indow br iefly will speed up the cool
ing process.
In all heating mode functions except
defrost,
the blower on ly switches to a higher speed
once the engine coolant has reached a certain
temperature.
Condensat ion from the cooling system can
drip and form a puddle of wate r under the ve
h icle. This is normal and does not mean there
is a leak .
Pollutant filt er
The pollutant filter removes pollutants such
as dust and po llen from the air.
The air pollutants filter must be changed at
the intervals specified in your Warranty
&
Maintenance booklet, so that the air condi
tioner can properly work .
If you drive your vehicle in an area with high
a ir pollution, the filter may need to be
changed more frequently than specified in
your Aud i Warranty
& Ma intenance booklet. If
i n doubt, ask your authori zed Audi Service Ad
visor for adv ice.
K ey coded settings
Three-zone climate control: T he b lower set
ting and air d istribution are stored automati
cally and ass igned to the remote control key
that is in use .
Four-zone automatic climate control: The cli
mate contro l settings are automatica lly stor
