Default First trip on the Cayenne S

We received our Cayenne S about 3 weeks ago and it is awesome!
My wife and I have planned to take a weekend trip from El Paso To Phoenix on memorial day weekend. About a 6 hour drive.
The S has about 120 miles on it. Is there a proper brake inn procedure for it?
We also intend to visit Ikea to buy some stuff for our home, should I consider how much weight to load into it? I'm just planning to buy a couple of things but just want to be sure I will not push it to much on the air suspension of the Cayenne.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Yes, it's in the owner's manual.

Yes. The weights/capacities are again detailed in the owner's manual.

He's been in the P-Rex again... he's mellow-yellow (no pun intended) today!

Sorry, but this fell somewhere in between the "clothes hanging rack in the tailgate" thread and the "Tiptronic Manual vs Automatic mode" thread.

, then use the "Search" function before asking a question.....otherwise suffer the wrath of Larry.

Ahh yes, the I-10 break in. A trick I use with new cars is I set the cruise control at a certain speed and shift down every so often to vary the RPM's. If I am on a long straight interstate.

As for reading the very long boring manual, it's OK to pose a question on this board. Don't pay any attention to those who bitch about the not using the search thing because they don't own the board.
