- The luggage compartment cover must al­
ways be fixed properly -risk of accident!
- Th e luggage compartment cover should not
be used as a storage shelf. Items placed on
this cover could cause injury in an accident
or if the brakes are applied suddenly.

Roof carrier
The roof carrier must be attached only in the
area of the Locating pins.
Fig. 63 Attachment points for carrier units
Note the following points if you intend to carry
loads on the roof:
- The rain channels are moulded into the roof as
part of the aerodynamic roof design. It is there­
fore not possible to mount conventional roof
luggage racks. We recommend using the carrier
units from the range of Audi Genuine accesso­
ries.
- These carrier units form the basic elements of a
complete roof carrier system. Special fixtures
must then be added in order to safely transport
luggage, bicycles, skis, surf boards or boats on
the roof. All the elements of this system are
available from Audi dealers.
- The maximum permissible roof load for your
vehicle is 75 kg. The load limit applies to the
combined weight of the carrier system and the
load itself.
- It will not be possible to carry the full maxi­
mum load if the roof carrier you are using is rat­
ed for a load which is less than this figure. Do
not exceed the maximum weight limit for the
roof carrier, which is listed in the fitting instruc­
tions.
Mounting
The feet of the carrier units must be fitted exact­
ly in the area of the locating pins between the
side frame and the roof frame trim qfig. 63. The
locating pins come into view when you push the
sealing lip back off the roof frame trim using the
tool provided for this purpose.
52 &
WARNING
- To prevent accidents, loads carried on the
roof must be securely attached.
- Do not exceed the maximum roof load for
the vehicle, the maximum axle loads or the
maximum gross vehicle weight, as this
could cause an accident.
- When transporting heavy or bulky loads on
the roof, bear in mind that the car's han­
dling is affected by the extra weight on the
roof and a possible susceptibility to cross
winds. Adjust your speed and driving style
accordingly to avoid accidents.
Any damage to the vehicle caused by the use
of other types of roof rack or incorrect instal­
lation will not be covered by the factory war­
ranty. The roof carrier system must therefore
be installed exactly according to the instruc­
tions provided.
it!) For the sake of the environment
Roof carriers are often left attached for con­
venience, even when they are not being used.
However, the increased air resistance means
that the vehicle uses more fuel. For this rea­
son you should always take off the roof carrier
when it is not in use.

Air conditioner
Description
The air conditioner heats, cools and dehumidifies
the air inside the vehicle. It operates most effec­
tively with the windows closed. If the vehicle has
been standing in the sun, it may cool down faster
if you open the windows briefly to let the hot air
escape.
The pollution filter removes impurities, such as
dust and pollen, from the air.
@ For the sake of the environment
If you wish to save fuel, switch off the cooling
mode on the air conditioner by pressing the
Controls for manual air conditioner

ijJ} Note
- Keep the air intake slots in front of the
windscreen clear of snow, ice and leaves to
ensure unimpaired heating and cooling, and
to prevent the windows misting over.
- Condensation can drip off the air cooling
system and form a pool underneath the ve­
hicle. This is normal and does not indicate a
leak.
- If you notice, for instance, that the seat* or
rear window heating is not working, it may
have been temporarily switched off by the
power management function. These sys­
tems will be available again as soon as suffi­
cient electrical power is available.

mines whether or not the battery charge level is
sufficient for the rear window heating to be
switched on. Otherwise the rear window heating
operates when the engine is running, and
switches off automatically after about
10 -20 minutes, depending on the outside tem­
perature.
To switch on the rear window heating permanent­
ly, press and hold the llllil REAR! button for at least
two seconds. This setting will be stored for ap­
proximately 15 minutes after the ignition is
switched off.
_&. WARNING
For reasons of safety you should not leave the
air recirculation switched on for too long. This
mode prevents fresh air from entering the ve­
hicle, so the windows can mist over if the air
cooling is switched off. Bad visibility can cause
an accident.

General notes
Running in
A new vehicle should be run in over a distance of
1,500 km. For the first 1,000 km the engine
speed should not exceed 2/3 of the maximum
per missible engine speed -do not use full throt­
tle. From 1,000 to 1,500 km you can gradually
increase the engine rpm and road speed.
During its first few hours of running, the internal
friction in the engine is greater than later on
when all the moving parts have bedded down.
How the vehicle is driven for the first 1,500 km
also influences the engine quality. After this peri­
od you should continue driving at moderate en­
gine speeds, in particular when the engine is
cold. This helps to reduce wear and tear on the
engine and increases the potential mileage which
can be covered by the engine.
You should also avoid driving with the engine
speed too Low. Change down to a lower gear
when the engine no longer runs "smoothly". Ex­
cessively high engine speeds are prevented by an
automatic rev limiter.
Driving through water on roads
Please note the following in order to prevent
damage to the vehicle when driving through wa­
ter (e.g. on flooded roads):
- The water level must not be higher than the ve­
hicle's underbody.
- Do not drive faster than walking pace.
A WARNING
After driving through water, mud, sludge,
etc., the braking effect can be delayed slightly
due to moisture on the discs and brake pads.
Applying the brakes carefully several times
will remove the moisture and restore the full
braking effect.
58 CD
CAUTION
Parts of the vehicle (e.g. engine, gearbox, run­
ning gear or electrical components) can be
badly damaged when driving through water.
ij} Note
- It is advisable to check the depth at the
deepest point before approaching the wa-
ter.
- Do NOT stop the vehicle, drive in reverse or
switch off the engine before you are out of
the water.
- Bear in mind that waves created by oncom­
ing traffic could exceed the permissible
wading depth of your vehicle.
- Avoid driving through salt water (corrosion).
How to improve economy and minimise
pollution
Fuel econom y, environmental impact and wear
on the engine, brakes and tyres depend largely
on the way you drive the vehicle. By adopting an
economical driving style and anticipating the
traffic situation ahead, you can reduce fuel con­
sumption by 10-15%. The following section gives
you some tips on lessening the impact on the en­
vironment and reducing your operating costs at
the same time.
Anticipate well in advance
A car uses most fuel when accelerating. If you an­
ticipate hazards and speed changes well in ad­
vance, you will need to brake less and thus accel­
erate less. Wherever possible, let the car slow
down gradually with a gear engaged, for in­
stance when you can see that the next traffic
lights are red.
Change gear early to save fuel
An effective way of saving fuel is to change up
quickly through the gears. Running the engine at
high rpm in the lower gears uses an unnecessary
amount offuel. Press the accelerator slowly and
avoid using the "kick-down" feature.
