Dont cruise much. Vary the speed of the engine. Dont romp down into it every chance you get, but stretch its legs every now and then.

Drive it like you normally would, except for keeping the engine at the same speed for a while.

Dont know if it would matter from the Si or sedan but i asked the dealer the same question i was under the impression to not drive over 2-2.5k rpms, but they said to vary the speed from about 50-75.

I asked at my dealer and they said not to go over 100km for 500km's
also I thought you shouldnt rev higher than 4k for a while ?

For the sedans, you want to run repeated Chinese Fire Drills for the first month, maybe one each day.

Break-in for coupes consists of running the seat sliders back and forth.
