Audi Q5: Roof rack

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

Seats and storage
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.
