• 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.

Caution

Any damage to the vehicle caused by the use of other types of roof

rack or incorrect installation will not be covered by the factory

warranty. The roof carrier system must therefore be installed exactly

according to the instructions provided.

objects in the bag

Securing the bag in the luggage compartment

– Two belts with hooks are attached to the bottom side of

the bag. Engage the hooks into the rear fastening rings

Attachment points

The roof carrier must be attached at the marked points

only.

– Pull the free end of the belt tight to secure it ⇒ fig. 91.

Note

If the bag is damp or wet, allow it to dry before putting it away.

Description

Mounting

Additional loads can be transported using the roof carrier.

Note the following points if you intend to carry loads on the roof:

The front feet of the carrier units must be fitted exactly onto the

locating pins A between the side frame and the roof frame trim

⇒ fig. 92. The pins come into view when you push the sealing lip

back off the roof frame trim using the tool supplied with the roof

carrier. The rear attachment points A are marked by two small

arrows on the top edge of the side window.

• The rain channels are moulded into the roof as part of the aero-

dynamic roof design. It is therefore not possible to mount conven-

tional roof luggage racks. We recommend using the carrier units

from the range of Audi Genuine accessories.

Roof load

Cup holders

Loads carried on the roof must be securely attached. The

car's handling is affected when transporting loads.

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 maximum load if the roof

carrier you are using is rated 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 instructions.

Fig. 93 Centre console:

Front cup holder

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 handling 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.

Fig. 94 Cup holder in

rear armrest

Front cup holder

– Two drinks can be placed in this cup holder ⇒ fig. 93.

For the sake of the environment

The increased air resistance when the roof carrier is fitted means

that the vehicle uses more fuel. For this reason you should always

take off the roof carrier when it is not in use.

If you connect more than one appliance, the total power rating of all

appliances must not exceed 150 W. If necessary, check the type

plates on the connected appliances for details of the power ratings.

• If the power drawn by the connected appliances is above 150 W,

the inverter in the socket will get warm. The inverter will trip out if

the temperature exceeds a certain limit. The inverter can trip out on

hot days even when an appliance with a suitable power rating is

used. The inverter will switch on again automatically after it has

cooled down. Appliances which are already connected and

Connected appliances must be in perfect condition and free of

defects.

switched on will be activated again automatically ⇒

.

WARNING

• Do not connect lamps which contain a neon tube. For technical

reasons, this may damage the lamp.

• Heavy appliances or plugs (such as power supply units) can

damage the mounting of the 230 Volt Euro socket if they are

suspended directly from the socket – Risk of injury!

• Do not connect 115 Volt appliances to the 230 Volt Euro socket.

This may cause irreparable damage to the appliance. Check the type

plate on the appliance if you are unsure of the voltage rating.

• Make sure that all connected appliances are securely stowed

when driving to prevent them from being catapulted through the

car under braking or in an accident – Danger to life!

• With some power supplies (e.g. on laptop computers), the inte-

grated surge suppressor prevents the equipment from being

switched on because the starting current is too high. If this

happens, please disconnect the power supply unit from the load

and wait for about 10 seconds before re-connecting.

• Never spill liquid over the socket – Danger to life! If the socket

does get wet, ensure that it is absolutely dry before using it again.

• Improper use of the electrical socket or appliances connected

to it can cause injuries or fire – Risk of injury!

Note

• Never leave children unattended in the vehicle while the engine

is running – Risk of injury!

• Unshielded equipment can cause interference on the radio, TV

and vehicle's electrical system.

• Connected appliances behave differently than when they are

connected to the public electricity grid. As a result, the connected

appliances may become hot during operation – Risk of injury!

• The Euro socket has an integrated child safety device. There is no

power at the socket until the Euro connector is fully inserted.

• When using adapters or extension cables, please remember

that the child safety device on the 230 Volt Euro socket is deacti-

vated and the socket is live – Risk of injury!

• Some appliances may not function normally due to the lower

power rating (wattage).

• The socket can be operated with 115 Volt power supplies, as is

the case in certain countries. In this case, a different type of inverter

must be installed in the vehicle. Retrofit kits are available from your

Audi dealer. Do not connect 115 Volt appliances to the 230 Volt Euro

socket.

• Do not insert conductive materials, such as knitting needles,

into the contacts of the 230 Volt Euro socket – Danger to life!

• Switch off the connected electrical appliances if the inverter

trips out due to overheating – Risk of injury!

• Interference can occur on the radio's AM waveband if electrical

appliances are used near the rear window aerial.

Caution

• Please observe the operating instructions for the connected

appliances.
