Audi A6 Typ 4G: Roof rack

Applies to: vehicles with roof rack

Seats and storage
Fig. 65 Attachment points for the roof 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. These roof racks are the basis for a complete roof rack system. Additional attachments/ carrier systems are necessary to transport luggage and sports equipment. We recommend roof racks and attachments from the Audi Genuine Accessories program.
  • When installing the roof rack, make sure that it is mounted only at the designated points on the roof fig. 65.
  • The permissible roof load for your vehicle is 220 lbs (100 kg). The roof load is the total of the weight of the roof rack, the attachments and the cargo you are carrying. However, you must also note the permitted load of the carrier system being used. For the permitted axle load and the permitted total vehicle weight.

WARNING

  • Follow the installation instructions provided with the roof rack system. If you do not secure the roof rack system and objects on the roof correctly, they could come loose from the vehicle and cause an accident.
  • Using a roof rack system increases the risk of an accident, because it changes the driving characteristics by shifting the center of gravity and/or the increasing the surface area exposed to wind. Adapt your driving and speed to the current conditions.

Note

Make sure that the luggage compartment lid and the sunroof do not come into contact with objects on the roof when they are open.

For the sake of the environment

Your vehicle will require more fuel due to the increased wind resistance. So remove the roof rack after using it.
