-Do not hang heavy objects on the coat
hooks, as they could cause personal injury in
a sudden stop.
CD Note
Objects on the rear shelf that rub against the
rear window can damage the rear window deÂ
fogger wires.
@ Tips
- A vent slot is located between the shelf and
the rear window. Do not b lock the vent with
any items you may place on the rear window
shelf.
- Do not p lace bulky items on the rear window
shelf as they could restr ict or block the drivÂ

Roof rack
A ppl ies to: ve hicles with roof rac k
Fig . 78 Attachment po ints for the roof rack
If luggage or cargo is to be carried on the roof,
you must observe the following:
- Only a specially designed roof rack may be used
on your veh icle . These roof racks are the basis
for a complete roof rack system. Additional atÂ
tachments/carrier systems are necessary to
transport luggage and sports equipment . We
recommend roof racks and attachments from
the Audi Genu ine Accessor ies program .
- When installing the roof rack, make sure that it
is mounted only at the designated points on
the roof
c::> fig . 78 .
-The permissible roof load for your vehicle is
220 lbs (100 kg) . The roof load is the total of
the weight of the roof rack, the attachments and the cargo you are carrying. However, you
S eats and storag e
must also note the pe rmitted load of the carri Â
er system being used . For the permitted axle
load and the permitted tota l vehicle weight,
see
Q page 333.
A WARNING
-Follow the installation instruct ions provided
wit h the roof rack system . If you do not seÂ
cure the roof rack system and objects on the
roof correctly, they could come loose from
the vehicle and ca use a n accident.
- Using a roof rack system increases the r isk
of an acc iden t, because it changes the d rivÂ
ing characte risti cs by shifting the center of
g ravi ty and/or the increasing the sur face
area exposed to wind. Adapt your driving
and speed to the current cond itions.
CD Note
Make su re that the open luggage compartÂ
ment lid and the tilt ing/slid ing sun roof * do
not come into contact with objects on the
roof.
@ For the sake of the environment
Your vehicle will use more fue l due to the inÂ
creased wind resistance. So remove the roof rack after using it .

climate control
Description
The climate control system warms, cools and re Â
moves humidity from the air in the vehicle interiÂ
or. It is the most effective when the windows and
sunroof* are closed. If there is a build-up of heat inside the vehicle, ventilation can help to speed
up the cooling process .
In all heating mode functions, except for defrost,
the blower only switches to a higher speed once
the engine coolant has reached a sufficient temÂ
perature .
Pollut ant filt er
The po llutant filter removes pollutants such as
dust and pollen from the air.
Ke y r eco gnition
The climate control settings are a utomatically
stored and assigned to the remote control key
that is in use .
A WARNING
Poor visibility can lead to accidents.
- For safer driving, keep all windows free of
ice, snow and fog .
- Become familiar as quickly as possible with
the correct use and function of the climate contro l system, especially with the defrostÂ
ing and defogging function.
- When the temperature is below freezing,
only use the windshield washer system after
Warm and c old
the windshield has been warmed by the cliÂ
mate control system. The washer fluid could
freeze on the windshield and impair visibiliÂ
ty .
@ Note
-If you suspect that the climate contro l sysÂ
tem is damaged, switch the system off to
prevent further damage and have it checked
by an authorized Audi dealer or authorized
Aud i Serv ice Facility.
- Repa irs to the Aud i climate control system
require special technical knowledge and
special tools . See an authorized Aud i dealer
or authorized Audi Serv ice Fac ility .
@ For the s ake of the environment
Reducing the amount of fuel used also reÂ
duces the amount of pollutants that enter the
a ir .
(D Tips
- To prevent interference with the heat ing
and cooling output and to prevent the winÂ
dows from fogging over, the a ir intake in
fro nt of t he w indshie ld must be free of ice,
snow or leaves.
- Condensat ion from the coo ling system can
dr ip and form a pudd le of water under the
veh icle . T h is is no rma l and does not mean
there is a leak .
- Th e energy management system may temÂ
porarily switch off certain functions, suc h as
the seat heating* or rear window defogger .
T hese systems are avai lable again as soon
as the energy supply has been restored.

Save en er gy
The engine drives the generator, wh ich generates
electricity; the fue l consumption also increases
with the demand for electricity. Therefore, switch
e lectrical equipment off when you no longer
need it. Examples of equipment that use a lot of
energy are air blowers at a high setting, the rear
window defogger and seat heating*.
CD Note
Do not leave engine idling unattended after
starting. If warning lights should come on to
ind icate improper operation, they would go
unheeded. Extended idling also produces
heat, wh ich could result in overheat ing or
other damage to the vehicle or other p roper-
ty.
CD Note
-Have your vehicle maintained properly and
i n accordance with the service recommendaÂ
tions in your Warranty
& Ma intenance bookÂ
l et. Lack of proper maintenance as well as
i mproper use of the vehicle will impair the
function of the emission control system and
could lead to damage.
-Do not alter or remove any component of
the Emission Control System unless ap proved by the manufacturer.
-Do not alter or remove any device, such as
heat shie lds, switches, ignition wires,
valves, which are designed to protect your
vehicle's Emission Control System and other
important vehicle components .

such as the power windows could be operatÂ
ed. This can lead to serious injury.
-For safety reasons, always park the vehicle
with the selector lever in the P position .
Driving
Otherwise, there is the risk that the vehicle
could roll unintentionally.
@ Note
If the engine has been under heavy load for
an extended period of time, heat builds up in
the engine compartment after the engine is
switched off and there is a risk of damaging
the engine. For this reason, let the engine run
at idle for approximately two minutes before
shutting it off .
(D Tips
For up to 10 minutes after stopping the enÂ
gine, the radiator fan may turn on again autoÂ
matically or it may continue to run (even if
the ignition is switched off) for the following
reasons :

Drivin g
During emergency braking, your vehicle will
brake sim ilar to heavy brak ing. ESC and the
associated components (ABS, ASR, EDL)
cannot overcome the laws of physics . In corÂ
ners and when road or weather cond it ions
are bad, a full b rake applicat ion ca n cause
the vehicle to skid o r the rear end to swerve,
wh ic h increases the r is k of an accident.
- If the powe r supply fa ils, you cannot set the
par king b rake if it is re leased. In th is case,
par k the vehicle on level ground and secure
it by placing the selector lever in the P posiÂ

Notice about data
recorded by the Event
Data Recorder and
vehicle control modules
Event Data Recorder
This vehicle is equipped with an Event Data ReÂ
corde r (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR is to
record, in certain crash or near crash-like situa Â
tions, such as an airbag deployment or hitting a
road obstacle, data that will assist in understand Â
ing how a vehicle 's systems performed. The EDR
is designed to record data re lated to vehicle dy Â
namics and safety systems for a short period of
time, typically 30 seconds or less. The EDR in this
vehicle is designed to record such data as :
- How various systems in your vehicle were operÂ
ating;
- Whether or not the driver and passenger safety
belts were buckled/fastened;
- How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the
acce lerator and/or brake pedal; and,
- How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can he lp prov ide a better understandÂ
ing of the circumstances in which crashes and inÂ
ju ries occur. NOTE: EDR data are recorded by your
vehicle only if a non-trivia l crash situation occurs;
no data are recorded by the EDR under normal
driving conditions and no personal data (e.g.,
name, gender, age, and crash location) are reÂ
corded. However, other parties, such as law en-
Intelligent Technology
forcement, could combine the EDR data with the
type of personally identifying data routinely acÂ
quired during a crash investigation.
T o read data recorded by an EDR, special equipÂ
ment is required, and access to the vehicle or the
EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manuÂ
facturer, other parties, such as law enforcement,
that have the special equipment, can read the in Â
formation if they have access to the vehicle or the
EDR .
Some state laws restrict the retrieval or downÂ
loading of data stored by ED Rs installed in a vehiÂ
cle for the express purpose of retrieving data afÂ
ter an accident or crash event without the own Â
er's consent .
Audi will not access the EDR and/or simi lar data
or give it to others -
- un less the vehicle owner (or lessee if the vehi Â
cle has been leased) agrees; or
- upon the official request by the police; or
- upon the order of a court of law o r a govern-
ment agency; or
- for the defense of a lawsuit through the judicial
discovery process.
- Aud i may also use the data for resea rch about
veh icle operation and safety performance or
provide the data to a third party for research
purposes without identifying the specific vehiÂ
cle or information about the identity of its ownÂ
er or lessee and only after the recorded vehicle
data has been accessed.
Vehicle control modules
Your vehicle is also equipped with a number of
electronic control modules for various vehicle
systems, such as engine management, emission
control, airbags, and safety belts .
These electronic control modu les record data
during normal vehicle operation that may be
needed by trained technicians for diagnostic and
repair purposes. The recording capability of these
modules is limited to data (no sound is recordÂ
ed) . Only a small amount of data is actually reÂ
corded over a very lim ited period of time, or storÂ
ed when a system fault is detected by a control
module . Some of the data stored may relate to
