You have a new ‘16? Where’d you find that?

Most people do not do anything for break in.

Break In

Break it in after being easy on it for the first 1 to 2 thousand miles then Break it in the way you're going to drive it.

I’m still torn over if it’s a bot or real question. Either way, it’s unlikely many folks need break-in info for a 2016.... though, if they did, it would easily be found in the owners manual

Strait from the Owners Manual.

"You need to break in new tires for approximately 300 mi (480 km). During this time, your vehicle may exhibit some unusual driving characteristics.
Avoid driving too fast during the first 1000 mi (1,600 km). Vary your speed frequently and change up through the gears early. Do not labor the engine.
Do not tow during the first 1000 mi (1,600 km)."
