Audi Q5: Roof rack
Description
Additional cargo can be carried with a roof luggage
rack.
If luggage or cargo is to be carried on the roof,
you must observe the following:
- Only a specially designed roof rack may be used
on your vehicle roof. This is provided with your
vehicle.
- These roof racks are the basis for a complete
roof rack system. Additional attachments are
necessary if you want to transport luggage, bicycles,
surf boards and skis. All these components
are available at your authorized Audi
dealer.
Note
If you use other roof luggage rack systems or
do not install the racks as intended, any damage
to the vehicle is not covered by the warranty.
Always read the manufacturer installation
instructions that came with your roof
rack system when you install the attachments.
Tips
When installing a factory-supplied roof rack
system on the roof railing, the ESC will adapt
itself to a different center of gravity.
Attachment points
The roof rock can only be attached at the
marked locations.
Fig. 81 Roof rack attachment points
Attach the roof rack only at the attachment
points on the roof railing. On the inside of the
roof railing there are two holes for attaching the
rear end of the roof rack. To prevent confusing
the front and rear roof rack attachments, there
are three holes on the left and two holes on the
right for mounting the front part of the roof rack
> fig. 81.
The roof racks have a sticker on the left side underneath
to identify front and rear.
WARNING
When installing the roof rack, make sure the
sticker is on the left side of the vehicle and
faces the stamped arrow in the drive direction.
