This is what manual says

No special break-in period is needed. By
following a few simple precautions for the
first 600 miles (1,000 km) you may add to
the performance, economy and life of
your vehicle.
• Do not race the engine.
• While driving, keep your engine speed
(rpm, or revolutions per minute)
between 2,000 rpm and 4,000 rpm.
• Do not maintain a single speed for long
periods of time, either fast or slow.
Varying engine speed is needed to
properly break-in the engine.
• Avoid hard stops, except in emergencies,
to allow the brakes to seat properly.
• Do not let the engine idle longer than 3
minutes at one time.

What do you mean by "sounded like a Diesel Engine"? Most modern diesel engines are quiet. Do you mean a clicking sound? That's probably just the fuel injectors (normal).
