Load — Do not tension roof bars against each other

Load — install the roof bars first, then install the add-on

components

Load — room to open boot lid

Load — room to open sliding/tilting glass sunroof

WARNING!

Do not tension roof bars against each other — risk of

accident!

WARNING!

Only fit the add-on components once the roof bars have

been installed on the vehicle — risk of accident!

Caution!

To prevent damage to the vehicle, make sure that you open

the boot lid carefully when installing add-on components

(such as a roof box, bicycle rack etc.) and when transporting

long items. It is recommended that you adjust the opening

angle, if necessary (see Vehicle operating instructions for

this) for vehicles with automatic boot lids.

Caution!

Add-on components (such as a roof box, bicycle rack etc.)

must be securely fastened in the T groove on vehicles with a

sliding/tilting glass sunroof ⇒page 11.

When installing add-on components, check that there is

enough room above the sliding/tilting sunroof before opening

it. If the add-on components are secured using assembly

brackets, the sliding/tilting glass sunroof must not be opened

— risk of damage resulting from a collision!

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!

The height of the vehicle will change as a result of installing

the roof bars with/without add-on components. Please

remember 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.
