    should be in the o/m. probably not to hold a steady speed for the first 500 miles, and not to hit the brakes too hard.

    My advice, just drive it as you would every other day of the week.

    Only caveat maybe don't go on a cross country gumball style top speed run after pulling out of the dealers lot... But honestly even in that case it would prob fare ok. Lol.

    I just drove mine normally from day-1. Just regular driving around town, and I took it out on the freeway 3 times a week for a short drive...up to 65 mph. Everything is good. Runs great.... the engine is smooth as a baby's butt! :ROFLMAO:
