Exclamation Engine break-in as per 2005 EU owner's manual

Just received my owner's manual on a CD from Porsche (still waiting for the car itself ) and found the following on page 12:

"Tips for running in:
The following tips will be helpful in obtaining optimum performance from your new Porsche.
Despite the most modern, high-precision manufacturing methods, the "wearing in" of moving parts with each other cannot be completely avoided. This wearing occurs mainly in the first 3,000 km (1,865 miles).
During the first 3,000 km (1,865 miles) you should:
- preferably take longer trips
- avoid frequent cold start with short-distance driving whenever possible
- Not participate in motor racing events, sports driving schools or similar.
- Avoid high engine speeds, especially when the engine is cool."

That's all folks... Nothing about 4200RPM or other scary stuff... I was a little bit afraid as I would not be able to keep the rules posted here earlier
