Assuming that means for the first 2000kms, don't exceed 160km/h or 4500rpm...

Dude, it does belong to him, he just has a fixed cost of ownership and he doesn't have to advertise it for sale when he is done in 36 months. He'll pay 40% to drive it for 3 years. If he bought it and drove it like he stole it and then traded it on a new one in 3 years, who would ever know it was abused? The guy that keeps it until it is 6 years old. Whether he leases, or trades after 3 - 4 years, doesn't matter. I say drive it like you stole it unless you are keeping it long term.

Yes, and the first 500 km's be extra careful with the breaks and tires.

500 km's is about = 350 miles

2000 km's is about = 1300 miles

The rev's don't need to be translated.

160 km/h is about = 100 miles/h
