Several people responded, for which thanks.  Seems to be a feature not 
documented in the A4 manual, but covered in other models' books.

You're right.  If I ignore the car for a week, I have only myself to blame if 
it won't listen to me. 

But this raises another question.  It sat for a week while I was wilderness 
canoeing.  I took my wife's Volvo because my A4 doesn't have a canoe rack.  
The Volvo 850T uses a Thule rack with Volvo specific feet.  Has anyone put 
a Thule rack on an A4?  Thule would be nice because I could use the same 
load holding attachments.
