Default I'm picking up my 2006 xB Thursday, is there anything...

I'm picking up my 2006 xB Thursday, I just wanted to know if theres anything I should know? Someone mentioned the "Cabin Air Filter", so I'm doing that, but I see some threads about "Varying Speeds" for the first 1000 miles, is there anything like this I should know about???
Thanks guys!!!!!

You won't get the EPA posted MPG for the next 2-3K miles or so. Typical average before this mark is 26-28MPG. Then it climbs. Just found out about this switch to winter gasoline (ends every march) which also lowers your MPG.

Your tire pressure the morning after you pick it up from the dealer may be higher than recommended since some dealers dont PDI the cars well. Check your cold tire pressure in the morning. If you don't you'll feel the ride is rougher (feel the road more) than what it should be. I found out that my tires ran on 40PSI after 500 miles from delivery

Yes, vary your speed (or more like the engine rpms) for a while.

Clay and wax soon, and of you're going to do it, get paint protection (such as rockblocker) immediately.
