Audi Q5: Roof load
The cargo on the roof must be securely attached.
Handling characteristics change when cargo is
transported.
The permissible roof load for your vehicle is
165 lbs (75 kg). The roof load is the total of the
weight of the roof rack, the attachments and the
cargo you are carrying.
WARNING
- The cargo must be securely attached on the
roof rack, otherwise you risk an accident.
- Distribute the load as evenly as possible and
do not make the roof rack wider than the
maximum permitted.
- You must under no circumstances exceed
the permissible roof load, the permissible
axle loads and the permissible overall
weight of your vehicle - risk of an accident.
- Mount the attachments to the roof rack only
after you have placed the roof rack on the
vehicle.
- Consider that when transporting heavy objects
or one with a large surface, the handling
characteristics change due to shift in
the center of gravity or the greater surface
exposed to the wind. So adapt your driving
and your speed to prevailing conditions. We
recommend that you do not drive faster
than 80 mph (130 km/h).
- Mounting a roof rack changes the height of
your vehicle. Keep this in mind when parking
your vehicle in your garage, or when driving
through a tunnel or under an overpass.
For the sake of the environment
As a result of the increased wind resistance
created by a roof rack, your vehicle is using
fuel unnecessarily. So remove the roof rack after
using it.
