Audi Q5: Roof load

Audi Q5 Type 8R (2008 - 2017) Owner's Manual / Operation / Seats and storage / 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.
