Most likely your car has already been run-in by some guy at the dock

the manual states that should not exceed 4500rpm before clocking 2000km on the odo.

You mean running in the engine right? I suppose it is important to ask the right thing so the right feedback can be given, else OT. Thank you.

For years, I followed the old adage of taking the car for a long joyride to 'ram' the engine once you hit past 5,000km mark... great advice handed down from seasoned mechanics and car aficionados...
