Sounds like someone hasn't been following it.

Up to 1200 miles/2000 km, variable engine and vehicle speed and nothing over 4500 rpm. No full-throttle or use of the transmission kick-down.

From 1200 miles/2000 km, engine speed can be gradually increased.

Drive 'in a reserved manner' for the first 200 miles/300 km while the tires break in.

Drive 'in a reserved manner' for the first 300 miles/500 km while the brakes break in.

Enjoy the car!

Pretty sure it hasn't changed for 2011, here is an excerpt from your owner's manual from an earlier year.
