General safety notes
WARNING
Please read these assembly instructions carefully before
starting installation. Non-compliance with these assembly
instructions and safety notes will compromise your safety
and that of third parties.
WARNING
All bolt connections and connections for the roof bars and
for the add-on components must be checked prior to
travelling to make sure they are positioned and installed
correctly. Tighten if necessary.
Recheck bolted connections and connections at
appropriate intervals and tighten if necessary. The bolted
connections and connections must be checked at short
intervals if travelling on a poor stretch of road.
If this guideline is not observed, this can result in the roof
bars or the add-on components becoming loose or falling
off — risk of accident!
WARNING
For the safety of other road-users, the roof bars and any
add-on components must be removed from the vehicle
when they are not being used.
WARNING
Repairs or the replacement of parts must only be
performed 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 roof bars with/without add-on
components installed.
Note
Driving with the bicycle rack attached can cause increased wind
noise.
