Roof rack
Applies to: veh icles with roof rack
App lies to: Coupe
F ig . 9 2 Roof : mo untin g po int s fo r the roo f rack
Applies to: Sportback
F ig. 93 Roo f: mo unti ng po ints for the roof ra ck
If luggage or cargo is to be ca rried on the roof ,
you mus t observe the following:
- Only a specially designed roof rack may be used
on your veh icle . T hese roof racks are the basis
for a complete roof rack system. Additional at­
tachments/car rier systems are necessa ry to
transport luggage and sports equipment. We
recommend roof racks and attachments from
the Audi Genuin e Accessories program .
- When installing the roof rack, make sure that it
is mounted only at the designated po ints on
the roof ¢
fig. 92 or¢ fig . 93.
- The maxim um permitted roof load for yo ur v e­
hicle is 165 lbs (75 kg) (Coupe) or 200 lbs
(90 kg) (Spo rtback) . T he roof load is the total
of the we ight of the roof rack, the attachments
80
and the cargo you are carrying. However , please
not e the permissib le load of the carrier system
being used, the permissible axle loads and the
permissible total vehicle weight
q page 386 .
A WARNING
-Follow the installation instructions provided
w ith the roof rack system. If you do not se ­
cure the roof rack system and objects on the
roof correctly, they could come loose from
the vehicle and ca use an accident .
- The risk of an acc ident increases when using
a roof rack system, because it changes the
driving characterist ics by shifting the ce nter
of grav ity and/or the increasing the surface
area exposed to wind . Adapt your driving
and speed to the current conditions.
Q) Note
Make sure that the luggage compartment lid
and the p anorama g lass roo f* do not come in­
to contact with objects o n the roof when they
are open .
@ For the sake of the environment
Your vehicl e wi ll use more fue l due to the in­
creased wind resistance . So remove the roof
rack after using it.

Warm and cold Climate control system
Description
The climate control system warms , cools and re­
moves humidity from the air in the vehicle interi­
or. It is the most effective when the w indows and
sliding sun roof* or power top* are closed . If
there is a build-up of heat inside the vehicle, ven­
tilation can help to speed up the cooling process.
I n all heating mode functions except for
defrost ,
the blower on ly switches to a higher speed once
the engine coolant has re ached a sufficient tem­
perature .
Pollutant filter
The pollutant filter removes pollutants such as
dust and pollen from the air.
Key recognition
The climate control settings are automatically
stored and assigned to the remote control key
that is in use .
T hese settings are different when the power top*
is open or closed .
Warm and cold
{® For the sake of the environment
-If you would like to reduce fuel consump­
tion, switch the air conditioning off . This
will also reduce emissions.
- In vehicles with a diesel engine, you can
switch the auxiliary heater off in the Info­
tainment system.
(D Tips
- To prevent interference with the heating
and cooling output and to prevent the win­
dows from fogging over, the air intake in
front of the windshield must be free of ice,
snow or leaves .
- Condensation from the cooling system can
drip and form a puddle of water under the
vehicle . This is normal and does not mean
there is a leak .
- The energy management system may tem ­
porarily switch off certain functions, such as
the seat heating* or rear window defogger.
These systems are available again as soon
as the energy supply has been restored.

engaged, for example when you notice that the next traffic light is red . This produces an engine
braking effect, which helps to protect the brakes
and tires and reduces the emissions and fuel con ­
sumpt ion to zero (fuel shut-off dur ing decelera­
tion) .
Shift efficiently
Upshifting earlier is an effective way to save fuel.
Staying in a gear too long uses fuel unnecessari­
ly.
Applies to: vehicles with manual transmission
Shift as soon as possible from first to second
gear. S hifting to the next highest gear at approxi­
mately 2,000 RPMs if poss ible is recommended.
Applies to: vehicles with automatic transmissions
Press down on the acce le rator peda l slowly and
avoid "kick -down".
Avoid full acceleration
You should rarely travel at the maximum vehicle
speed. High speeds cause a disproportionately
high increase in fuel consumption, emissions and
traffic noise. Driving more slowly saves fuel.
Reduce idling time
The Start/Stop system* he lps to reduce the idling
time automatically. In vehicles without the Start/
Stop system*, it is efficient to switch the engine
off when stopped at railroad cross ings and long
r ed lights. Stopping the engine for 30-40 sec­
onds already saves more fuel than the amount of
extra fuel needed to restart the eng ine.
It takes a very long time in idle to warm the en­
g ine up to operating temperature. Wear and
emissions are especially h igh in the wa rm-up
phase . Therefore, you should begi n driving im­
mediately a fter starting the engine . Avoid high
RPMs while do ing this .
Have maintenance performed regularly
By having maintenance performed regu larly on
your veh icle, yo u ca n he lp to reduce f uel con-
<(
~ sumption before yo u even start to drive. The
N ~ maintenance condition of your vehicle not only
8 affects traffic safety and long-term value but a l­
'° 3 Driving
so impacts fuel consumption . A poorly main ­
tained engine can lead to fuel consumption that is 10% higher than norma l.
Avoid short trips
The eng ine and exhaust cleaning system must
reach their optimal operat ing temperatu re to ef­
f ectively reduce consumption and emissions.
A cold engine uses a disproportionately high
amount of fue l. The engine reaches operating
temperat ure and consumption normalizes on ly
after approximate ly 2.5 miles (4 km).
Check the tire pressure
To save fuel, make sure the tires are always in­
flated to the correct press ure
~page 351. The
fuel consumption can increase by 5% if the pres­
s u re is only 0.5 bar too low. Due to the increased
rolling resistance, low tire pressures wi ll also
l ead to greater tire wear and will affect driving
behavior.
Do not drive on winter tires year-round, as this
will consume up to 10% more fuel.
Eliminate unnecessary weight
S in ce eve ry po und of ext ra weight increases f uel
consumption, a quick inspection of the luggage
compartment may be worth it to avoid unneces ­
sary weight .
When not be ing used, a roof rack should be re­
moved to decrease the wind resistance of the ve­
hicle. This will save you approximately 12% fuel
at speeds from 62 -75 mph (100 - 120 km/h) .
Save energy
The eng ine drives the generator, which generates
electric ity; the fuel consumpt io n also incr eases
with the demand for electr icity. The refore, switch
electrical eq uipment off when you no longer
need it . Examples of equipment that uses a lo t of
energy are air blowers at a high setting, the rear
window defogger and seat heating* .
@ Note
Do not leave engine idling unattended after
starting. If warning lights shou ld come on to
indicate improper operation, they would go
