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.

&
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.

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.
