Break-in period suggestions?

I scoured the manual to see if the car had any specific requirements for a break-in period but only found a mention of it around towing.
My other cars have all had rather specific suggestions (don't use cruise, go the same speed for long durations, etc) so I am wondering if the same applies here or Acuras really don't have this requirement.
Apologies for all the noob questions. This is my first Acura which I am loving, but very different requirements from what I am used to.

The manual says no full throttle acceleration for the first 600 miles. And to avoid hard braking for the first 200 miles (and the first 200 miles after changing brake pads).

On page 242 (at least the PDF version).
