There is some information about mileage and accelerations in manual and all over online on different processes to follow on vehicle break in procedures. I want to provide another thing to think about (based on my background as a former exhaust after treatment engineer). During the first 10 hours in any new vehicle, the catalytic converter support mat (Muffler E glass Heatshield Insulation) is going through a process called burning out the binder. During this process you get some small smell/odor out the tailpipe but also during binder burnout its not a bad idea to keep your exhaust back pressures lower (IE no WOT pulls, chill acceleration). Also driving like a granny is not a good idea...Depending on how much heat you get into the Cats (600-950C) it will speed up this process (6 hours - 2ish hours). I only mention this as some on this page will be getting new catalyst replaced...when they are brand new and "green" these support mats have not been through binder burnout process.
