WARNING!
All bolt connections and connections for the roof bars and
for the add-on components must be checked prior to
travelling to ensure 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!
The height of the vehicle will change due to the installation
of the roof bars with/without add-on components. Please pay
attention to this when entering garages, driving through
tunnels, underpasses etc.
Caution!
Do not enter a car wash with roof bars with/without add-on
components installed.
