    Looking for a tutorial of sorts. I just got my 2010 Prius IV with Navi and am wondering what I should be aware of, or what I should be doing these first 1k miles to make sure I take care of my babae.

    A few that I've already got from reading the many post on this forum are:

    - Check your tire pressure to make sure it's where it needs to be
    - Wax your car, this protects the coat
    - If you have leather - get a leather protectant and apply it to your leather interior. This will help it the leather from cracking later on.
    - Don't drive too aggresively (don't accelerate or brake too hard). Don't maintain high speeds for long distances.
    - Change the oil, even before the recommended 5k.

    Please include any others and state the reason why. This way, we have a consumer list of to dos and to don'ts.
