Seats and storage 73
Roof rack
Description
Additional cargo can be carried with a roof
luggage rack .
If luggage or cargo is to be carried on the
roof, you must observe the following:
- Your vehicle has aerodynamic rain gutters
molded into the roof . This is why convenÂ
tional roof luggage racks cannot be used .
We recommend using roof racks from the
Aud i original accessories program .
- These approved roof racks are the basis for a
complete roof rack system. Additional atÂ
tachments for the basic roof rack are neces Â
sary to safely transpo rt luggage, bicycles,
surf boards, skis or sma ll boats. All necessaÂ
ry hardware for these systems is available at
your authorized Audi dealer.
- We recommend that you keep the installaÂ
tion instructions for your roo f rack system
together with your Owner's literature in the
vehicle.
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 consumpÂ
tion, wind noise and to guard aga inst theft.
8_ WARNING
- Use of an unapproved roof rack or incorÂ
rect mounting of an approved roof rack
can cause the roof rack or the items atÂ
tached to it to fall off the roof onto the
road.
- Objects falling from the roof of a vehicle
can cause a crash and personal in jury.
- Only mount the system between the
markings shown in
r=;, page 74, fig. 87 .
- The roof rack system must be installed
exactly according to the instructions pro-
-
vided. .,,.

7 4 Seats and storage
(D Note
- Your vehicle warranty does not cover any
damages to the vehicle caused by using
roof racks or mounting structures not
approved by Audi for your vehicle . The
same applies to damage resulting from incorrect roof rack installation .
- Always check the roof rack mountings
and hardware before each trip and dur Â
ing a trip to make sure everything is seÂ
curely tightened. If necessary, retighten
the mountings and check the ent ire sysÂ
tem from time to time.
- After mounting a roof rack system, or
when you transport objects on the roof
of your vehicle, the height of the vehicle
is naturally increased. Be careful when
driving under low bridges or in parking
garages for example. This could cause
damage to the load and even the vehicle itself.
Mounting points
T he roof rack must be attached only at the loÂ
cations marked .
Fig. 87 Mounting locations for roof rack
Installation
When installing the front feet , make sure that
they are positioned exactly on the positioning
bolts provided @between the side panel and
the uppe r roof frame¢
fig . 87. Th e bolt is visi Â
ble as soon as you push back the seal from the
upper roof frame using the installation tool
supplied with the roof rack . The rear markings
@ are identified at the upper edge of the side
glass by two small arrowheads.
A WARNING
-After traveling several miles, ensure that
the roof rack is secure.
(D Tips
The roof rack indicates whether it is to be mounted in the front or back.
Roof load
The cargo on the roof must be securely atÂ
tached. Handling characteristics change
when cargo is transported.
The permissible roof load for your vehicle is
165 lbs. (75 kg) . The roof load is a combinaÂ
tion of the weight of the carrier system and the cargo.
When using roof rack systems with a lower
load capacity, you cannot use the maximum
permissible roof load . In this case, the roof
rack can only be loaded to the weight limit
given in the installation guide.
A WARNING
- The cargo must be securely attached on
the roof rack, otherwise you risk an acciÂ
dent.
- You must under no circumstances exceed
the permissible roof load, the permissiÂ
ble axle loads and the permissible overall
weight of your vehicle -risk of an acciÂ
dent.
- Consider that when transporting heavy
objects or one with a large surface, the
handling characteristics change due to
shift in the center of gravity or the greatÂ
er surface exposed to the wind. So adapt
your driving and your speed to prevailing conditions.
~ For the sake of the environment
As a result of the increase wind resistance
created by a roof rack, your vehicle is using
fuel unnecessarily. So remove the roof rack
after using it.

172 Airbag system
must always sit in an upright position,
must not lean against or place any part
of their body too close to the area where
the airbags are located .
- Occupants who are unbelted, out of posiÂ
tion or too close to the airbag can be se riously injured by an airbag as it unfolds
with great force in the blink of an eye
~page 163.
A WARNING
A child in a rearward-facing child safety
seat installed on the front passenger seat
will be seriously injured and can be killed if
the front airbag inflates -even with an AdÂ
vanced Airbag System.
- The inflating airbag will hit the child
safety seat or infant carrier with great
force and will smash the child safety seat
and child against the backrest, center
armrest, door or roof.
- Always install rear-facing child safety
seats on the rear seat.
- If you must install a rearward facing
child safety seat on the front passenger
seat because of exceptional circumstanÂ
ces and the
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF
light does not come on and stay on, imÂ
mediately install the rear-facing child
safety seat in a rear seating position and
have the airbag system inspected by your
authorized Audi dealer.
A WARNING
Objects between you and the airbag will
increase the risk of injury in a crash by inÂ
terfering with the way the airbag unfolds
or by being pushed into you as the airbag
inflates.
- Never hold things in your hands or on
your lap when the vehicle is in use.
- Never transport items on or in the area of the front passenger seat. Objects
could move into the area of the front airÂ
bags during braking or other sudden maÂ
neuver and become dangerous projec- tiles that can cause serious personal inÂ
jury if the airbags inflate.
- Never place or attach accessories or othÂ
er objects (such as cupholders, tele phone brackets, large, heavy or bulky obÂ
jects) on the doors, over or near the area marked "AIRBAG" on the steering wheel,
instrument panel, seat backrests or beÂ
tween those areas and yourself. These
objects could cause injury in a crash, esÂ
pecially when the airbags inflate.
- Never recline the front passenger's seat
to transport objects. Items can also
move into the area of the side airbag or
the front airbag during braking or in a
sudden maneuver. Objects near the airÂ
bags can become projectiles and cause
injury, particularly when the seat is reÂ
clined.
A WARNING
'-
The fine dust created when airbags deploy
can cause breathing problems for people
with a history of asthma or other breathÂ
ing conditions.
- To reduce the risk of breathing problems, those with asthma or other respiratory
conditions should get fresh air right
away by getting out of the vehicle or
opening windows or doors.
- If you are in a collision in which airbags
deploy, wash your hands and face with
mild soap and water before eating.
- Be careful not to get the dust into your
eyes, or into any cuts or scratches.
- If the residue should get into your eyes,
flush them with water.

222 Cleaning and protection
Automatic car wash
The vehicle can be washed in almost any
modern automatic car wash.
The vehicle paint is so durable that the vehicle
can normally be washed without problems in
an automatic car wash. However, the effect on
the paint depends to a large extent on the deÂ
sign of the facility, the filtering of the wash
water, the type of wash and care material, etc. If the paint has a dull appearance after going
through the car wash or is scratched, bring
this to the attention of the operator immediÂ
ately. If necessary, use a different car wash.
Before going through a car wash, be sure to
take the usual precautions such as closing the
windows and the roof. Factory installed anÂ
tennas must not be removed.
If you have installed additional accessories on
the vehicle - such as spoilers, roof rack, etc. -
it is best to ask the car wash operator if these
should be removed.
A WARNING
Always read and heed all WARNINGS and
other information
c;, page 221.
Washing the vehicle by hand
A lot of water is needed when washing a vehiÂcle by hand.
., Before you start washing, make sure you
have read and understood the WARNINGS
r:::;, A in General information on page 221.
., First soak all dried dirt until it is soft, then
rinse it off.
., As you clean your vehicle, start with the
roof and work your way down to the bottom,
using a sponge, a sponge glove or a clean
brush.
., Rinse the sponge or the sponge glove often,
flushing it clean each time.
., Use special car shampoo only for very perÂ
sistent dirt.
., Rinse the car thoroughly with water .
., Use a chamois leather to gently wipe the exÂ
terior dry. Use
a separate sponge for cleaning the
wheels, door sills and other regions exposed
to road dirt. In this way, you will not scratch
the paint with coarse particles imbedded in
the sponge the next time you wash the car.
A WARNING
---Do not clean the underside of the chasÂ
sis, fenders, wheel covers, or other hard
to reach parts without protecting your
hands and arms. You may cut yourself on
sharp-edged metal parts.
- Always read and heed all WARNINGS and
other information
c;, page 221.
0 Note
- Never try to remove dirt, mud or dust if
the surface of the vehicle is dry. Never
use a dry cloth or sponge, since this
could scratch your vehicle's paint or winÂ
dows.
- Never wash your car in bright sunlight.
Drops of water act as magnifying lenses
and may damage your paint.
-When you wash your car in the winter: if
you rinse your vehicle with a hose, be
careful not to aim the stream of water
directly at locks, or at door or hatch
openings - they can freeze shut.
- Never use sponges designed to remove
insects, or any kitchen scouring sponges
or similar products. They can damage
your paint finish .
- You should remove debris (such as inÂ
sects) from the headlight lenses on a
regular basis, for example when refuelÂ
ing your vehicle. Never use a dry cloth or
sponge to clean the headlights. Only use
wet cloths or sponges to prevent
scratches. It is best to use soapy water.
@ For the sake of the environment
In the interest of the environment, the veÂ
hicle should only be washed in special
wash bays .
Page 227 of 316

The best way to remove snow from windows
and mirrors is to use a brush. Use a non-abraÂ
sive
plastic ice scraper -better still, a spray
deicer -to remove
ice from windows and mirÂ
rors.
The windows must not be cleaned with insect
remover or wax sin ce these can interfere with
the function of the windshield wiper blades
(chatter).
Oil, grease, or silicone residue can be removed
with
glass cleaner or silicone remover. HowÂ
ever, wax residue require s the use of a specialÂ
ly formulated solvent. Please contact your auÂ
thor ized Audi dealer for advice on safe prodÂ
ucts for wax removal.
Windows should also be cleaned on the inside
at regular intervals.
Never dry windows with the same chamois
that you use to dry painted surfaces. Wax resiÂ
due on the chamois can impair vision through
the windows.
A WARNING
-Always read and heed all WARNINGS and
other information
r::.> page 221.
- The windshield must not be treated with
water-repellent materials. They can inÂ
crease glare under poor visibility condiÂ
tions such as wetness, darkness, or when
the sun is low on the horizon. In addiÂ
tion, they can cause the windshield wipÂ
ers to chatter.
- Never use warm or hot water to remove
snow and ice from windows and mirrors.
This could cause the glass to crack.
- To prevent damage to the wires of the
rear defogger, do not place any adhesive
stickers on the inside of the rear window
over the wires.
- To help prevent dirt from scratching the
window, always scrape in a forward diÂ
rection -pushing the scraper away from
you -never back and forth.
Cleaning and protection 225
-Water leaking from the inside of the rear
windows may damage sensitive electrical components located either under the
rear parcel shelf or in the rear trunk area.
Always ensure that water never leaks
through the body section of the vehicle.
You can do this by using waterproof pro tection over the vehicle's electrical comÂ
ponents (e.g. when installing window
tinting) .
- Damage or malfunction of electrical
components due to water damage or any
other outside influence is not covered by
the Audi New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
See your Warranty
& Maintenance bookÂ
let for additional details about your warÂ
ranty.
Cast (light) alloy wheels
Cast (light) alloy wheels require special care.
.,. Wash the wheels with a sponge or hose
brush every other
week .
.,. For deep cleaning afterwards, use only a
dedicated
acid-free cast alloy wheel cleaner.
.,. Rub a coat of
liquid wax onto the rims every
three month. Be sure to reach and treat all
parts of the rim.
To preserve the decorative appearance of the
cast alloy wheels, some special care is necesÂ
sary. In addition to road dirt and salt, brake
dust is also corrosive . If left on for too long,
brake dust can cause pitting.
Use only special
acid-free cleaners formulated
for alloy rims. Safe products are available at
your authorized Audi dealer. Never leave the
cleaner on the rims longer than specified on
the label. If not rinsed
off promptly, the acid
contained in some cleaners can attack the
threads on the wheel bolts.
Never use abrasive or metal polishing cleanÂ
ing agents. If the protective coating has been
chipped, e.g. by kicked up road dirt, touch it up as soon as possible . .,..
