It is advised to make a few longer trips the first 1500 km (so not only 5 km trips to the supermarket, because than the engine will never get warm).

Turbo-engines (always): after driving fast or with high rpms, it is very important to slow down the last few kilometers of your trip. Also keep the engine running a few seconds before turning it off. This way you will prevent the turbo's from running on without oil, after the engine is switched off.
Thanks for the tips!

I did floor it ... once, in comfort mode, but the engine was very much warmed up.

Thanks for the tip about the last few km of a trip. That's good to know!
