breaking in a TL

I should be getting my car any day now...

what is the procedure for breaking in a new car. it is also winter and damn cold, so how do i warm up the engine in the morning? how many miles, what RPM should i keep it under, etc...

any help would be appreciated. thanks!

don't use criuse control...
don't go over 4000rpm...
try to run the car at vary speed...not constant for long...

for warming up...one minute u can drive away from a cold start...but try to keep it slow until it reaches the ideal temp...

keep doing that until the first oil chance...although some ppl say 1000miles...but just in case...
