- Fig. 52 Attachment points for carrier units
Note the following points if you intend to carry loads on the roof:
- Only use roof carrier cross bars designed for your vehicle. The cross bars form the basic elements of a complete roof carrier system. Additional elements/carrier systems are needed in order to transport luggage and sports equipment. We recommend using roof carriers and additional elements from the range of Audi Genuine Accessories.
- The feet of the roof carrier cross bars must be attached at the points provided on the roof Fig. 52►.
- You should ensure that you do not exceed the maximum permitted axle loads, gross weight and roof load for your vehicle link►. The roof load limit applies to the combined weight of the roof carrier, the additional elements and the load itself. Please do not exceed the maximum carrying load of the carrier system you are using.
Mounting
The feet of the carrier units must be fitted exactly in the area of the locating pins between the side frame and the roof frame trim Fig. 52►. 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
- Note the fitting instructions provided by the manufacturer of the roof carrier system. If you do not secure the roof carrier system and roof load correctly, they can become separated from the vehicle and cause an accident.
- The use of a roof carrier system affects the vehicle s handling by shifting the centre of gravity and increasing susceptibility to cross winds - risk of accident! Take extra care when driving and adjust your speed accordingly.
CAUTION
Please take extra care not to let the boot lid strike the roof load when open.
