Only thing I found in the manual is to not tow anything for the first 1000 kim or 600 miles. I decided to just take it easy for the first 1000 miles but I am sure there are many schools of thought on how to break in new car.

From Acura site:


Help assure your vehicle's future reliability and performance by paying extra attention to how you drive during the first 600 miles (1,000 kilometers). During this period:
Avoid full-throttle starts and rapid acceleration.
Avoid hard braking. New brakes need to be broken in by moderate use for the first 200 miles (300 km).
