Roof rack
First things first
A roof rack can be fitted to carry additional luggage on
the roof.
-Always read and follow the instructions provided by the
roof rack manufacturer when the roof rack system must
be installed.
If you are transporting luggage or other objects on the roof, please
note the following:
• Your vehicle has specially designed aerodynamic roof rails . Only
install a roof rack specifically designed for your model. Contact the
nearest Audi dealer for information on approved modular roof racks
for your vehicle.
• These approved roof racks are the basis for a complete roof rack
system. Additional attachments for the basic roof rack are neces-

sary to safely transport luggage, bicycles, surf boards, skis or small
boats. All necessary hardware for these systems is available at your
authorized Audi dealer.
• We recommend that you keep the installation instructions for
your roof 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 consumption, wind noise and to
guard against theft.
& WARNING
• Use of an unapproved roof rack or incorrect mounting of an
approved roof rack can cause the roof rack or the items attached
to it to fall off the roof onto the road.
• Objects falling from the roof of a vehicle can cause a crash and
personal injury.
• Only mount the system between the markings shown in
~ page 80, fig. 70.
• The roof rack system must be installed exactly according to the
instructions provided.
0 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 during a trip to make sure everything is securely tightened.
If necessary, retighten the mountings and check the entire system
from time to time . .,,
I • •

Seats and stor ag e
• After mounting a roof rack system, or when you transport
objects on the roof of your vehicle, the height of the vehicle is natu ­
rally increased . Be careful when driving under low bridges or in
parking garages for example. This cou ld cause damage to the load
and even the vehicle itself. •
Mounting locations
The roof rack must be attached only at the positioning
bolts.

Fig . 7 0 M ounti ng l oca­
tion s for roo f ra ck
When installing the feet make sure that they are positioned exactly
on the position ing bolts provided @ between the side panel and
the upper roof frame=> fig. 70. The positioning bolt is visible as
soon as the lip of the sealing strip is pushed back from the roof
frame with the tool provided. •
Loading the roof rack
Always distribute the loads evenly . M ake sure anything on
the roof rack is securely tied down.
- Always distr ibute the loads on the roo f rac k evenly . Always attach items t
o the roof rack sec urely bef ore you
d rive of f.
The maximum permiss ible roof weigh t is 16 5 lb (75 kgl. The roof
weight is made up of the weight of the roof rack system and the
we ight of the object being transported.
When using a roof rack system which has a lower load carrying
capacity, you must not use up the total maximum permissible load
carrying capacity specified above. Instead, you should load the roof
rack system only to the maximum capacity specified by the manu ­
facturer of the roof rack system .
& WARNING
Weak, d ama ged or imp rop er strap s used to se cure item s to the
roof ra ck c an f ail during hard braking or in a colli sion and cau se

• Make sure the roof rack is installed e xactly a s specified abov e
=> page B O.
• Always use suitabl e mounting straps for securing i tems to the
roof ra ck to he lp prevent ite ms from s hifting or fly ing f orward .
• Items on the roof rack must alwa ys be securely mounted.
• The use of a roof rack can negatively affect the wa y a ve hicle
h andle s. Ca rgo that i s la rg e, heavy , bulky , long or fl at will hav e a
gr eater negative influen ce on th e vehicle' s aerodynamics , center
of gravity and overall handling . Al ways drive slowly , avo id sudden

• Alway s drive slowly , avoid sudden braking and maneuver s
when transport ing carg o on t he ro of of your vehi cle .

<£> For the sake of the environment
Sometimes it may be easier to leave a roof rack installed even
though you are not using it . Due to the increased air resistance your
vehicle wi ll unnecessarily use more fuel. Remove the roo f rack if you
are not going to use it. •

W arm and cold
Using the previously recommended setting is the quickest way to
achieve a comfortable climate in the vehicle. This setting should
therefore only be changed when personal comfort levels or certa in
circumstances require it.
The climate controls are a combination of automatic heating and
ventilation systems and a cooling system which dehumidifies and cools the air inside the vehic le .
The climate controls automatically maintain a temperature once it has been set. The temperature of the air from the vents, fan speed
(air volume) and air dist ribu tion are a lso automatically adjus ted . The
system also takes into account strong sunshine so that manual
adjus tment is not necessary. So in almost all cases,
a ut omatic mode
offers the best conditions for the comfort of the occupants at all
times of the year~
page 88.
Ple ase not e:
In cooling mode, relative humidity in the interior is reduced. This
prevents the windows from fogging up .
When relative humidity and temperatures outside are high,
conden ­
s ate
can drip from the air conditioning evaporator and form a pool
of water under the vehicle . This is normal and not an indication of a
leak!
When outside temperatures are low, the fan does no t switch to a
higher speed until the coolant has reached an adequate tempera­
ture, with the exception of t he defrost setting .
When accelerating at wide-open throttle, the air conditioning compressor is temporarily switched off to maintain fu ll engine
power.
In order to ensure engine cooling under extreme engine loads, the
compressor is switched off if coolant temperatures climb too high ...

The pollutant filter (particle filter) ensures that contaminants in the
outside air (such as dus t or p ollen) are greatly reduced or stopped.
The air is also filtered in recirculation mode.
T he pollutan t fil te r element must be changed accord ing to the inter ­
vals specified in the maintenance schedule so that the air condi­
tioning system's performance is not adversely affected.
If the filter's effectiveness is weakened by driv ing t he vehic le in
areas with heavi ly polluted outside air, the filter element should also
be changed in between the listed services .
& WARNING
For safety re ason s, it is impo rtant that all window s are free of i ce ,
snow, and condensat ion . Onl y then is good visibility ensured .
Plea se familiari ze your self with the correct operation of the air
conditioning and how to dehumidify /defrost the windows .
0 Note
• If you suspect that the climate controls have been damaged,
switch the system off to avoid damag ing it, and have it inspected by
an author ized Audi dealer.
• Audi climate control system repairs require special expertise and
t he proper tools. You shou ld contact an authorized Audi dealer in
the event o f malfunctions.
[ i ] Tips
• To avo id adverse ly affecting heating and cooling performance
and to prevent condensation on the windows, the air intake in front
of the windsh ield must be free of ice, snow, and leaves.
• The air coming from the vents and circulating through the entire
inter ior is extracted through the outlet slots in the side panels in the
luggage compartment. Make sure that the outlet slots are not
covered by clo th ing, etc.
• Climate control works most effectively if the windows are closed .
H owever, if the interior of a parked vehicle is extremely hot from the
sun's rays, briefly opening the windows can speed up the cooling
process. •
