Installation instructions - Audi A3 (8V4) Sportback 2013 ►
Edition 01
WARNING
The procedures and safety notes detailed in these instructions for the installation, handling and
use of the carrier units must always be observed.
◆ Deviating from these instructions can cause the carrier units or the mounted roof rack module
to come loose.
◆ The carrier units are designed such that the vehicle will not be damaged if components are in-
stalled, handled and used properly.
◆ The manufacturer is not liable for any damage resulting from failure to comply with the installa-
tion procedure or notes specified.
◆ All forms of warranty claim against the manufacturer are invalidated if installation, handling or
use of the components is not carried out as specified in these instructions.
WARNING
◆ Replace damaged components immediately.
◆ Do not use elasticated straps or bungee cords!
Caution
Do not enter a car wash with carrier units installed with/without roof rack modules.
Note
◆ When driving with a roof load, make sure that the German Road Traffic Regulations (StVZO) or any coun-
try-specific regulations are observed.
◆ For reasons of convenience, it is common for the carrier units with/without roof rack modules to remain on
the vehicle, even if they are not in use. Your vehicle will consume more fuel due to increased wind resist-
ance.
◆ It is advisable to remove a carrier unit after use.
◆ Additional wind noise can result from driving with a carrier unit attached.
1.3
Safety notes to be checked before and after each journey and when in
use
WARNING
Check that the carrier units and the load to be transported are securely attached:
◆ Before the start of every journey,
◆ After approx. 10 km of the journey,
◆ approx. every 300 km on good roads
◆ Frequently on poor roads (due to vibration),
◆ Regularly to make sure that there has been no movement/displacement.
If the carrier units are not checked to make sure that they are secure and to check whether any
fasteners need tightening, they could work loose and parts may therefore be lost, despite instal-
lation being carried out properly – risk of accident!
In the event of a change in position, drive at a reduced speed until the next opportunity to stop
safely and then re-tighten the bolted connections and fixtures on the carrier units.
