General safety notes
WARNING
Please read these installation instructions carefully be-
fore starting installation. Non-compliance with these in-
stallation instructions and safety notes will compromise
your safety and that of third parties.
WARNING
The driver is responsible for making sure that his view
and ability to hear are not impaired by his load or by the
condition of the vehicle.
He must make sure that the load does not prevent the ve-
hicle from complying with regulations and that road safe-
ty is not compromised.
WARNING
All bolt connections and connections for the roof bars
and for the ski and luggage box must be checked prior to
travelling to make sure they are positioned and installed
correctly. Tighten where necessary.
Recheck bolted connections and connections at appro-
priate intervals and tighten if necessary. The bolted con-
nections and connections must be checked at short inter-
vals if travelling on a poor stretch of road.
If this guideline is not observed, this can result in the ski
and luggage box becoming loose or falling off — risk of
accident!
WARNING
For the safety of other road-users, the roof bars and the
ski and luggage box must be removed from the vehicle
when not in use.
WARNING
Repairs or the replacement of parts must only be per-
formed by a qualified workshop. It is recommended that
genuine spare parts available from your Audi partner are
used.
Caution
Do not enter a car wash with the ski and luggage box and
roof bars mounted.
