Breaking in the engine ???
 
How many KM till I can really test this car. Do I need to wait 2000km or am I good to go right away?

From the US Owner's Manual on page 4-7, there's an adhesive piece of paper that's been stuck onto the page. It says:
"No special break-in is necessary, but a few precautions in the first 1,000 km (600 miles) may add to the performance, economy, and life of your engine.
-Don't race the engine.
-Don't maitain one constant speed for long.
-Don't drive constantly at full-throttle or high engine rpm (over 7,000 rpm) for extended periods of time.
-Avoid unnecessary hard stops.
-Avoid full-throttle starts."
