I've never adhered to this in the 7 years of owning a vehicle with the 3.0l V6. I have always done an "interim" service at 13K to have the fluids done. I think the dealers call this a "health check".
I am sure you'll be fine.
Adhere to the running in guidelines :

Also, understand what is required for the DPF to do it's regen:The vehicle is built using high-precision manufacturing methods, but the moving parts of the engine must still bed-in, relative to each other. The process occurs mainly in the first 3 000 km of operation.
During this running-in period of 3 000 km, observe and follow the instructions below:
Do not fully press the accelerator pedal during starts and normal driving.
Avoid high engine speeds (rpm) until the engine has reached its full operating temperature.
Avoid labouring the engine by operating the engine in too high a gear at low speeds.
Gradually increase engine and road speeds.
Avoid continuous operation at high engine speed and abrupt stops.
Avoid frequent cold starts followed by short-distance driving.
Preferably take longer journeys.
Do not participate in track days, sports driving schools, or any similar events.

Diesel vehicles equipped with a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) have more efficient emissions control. The particles in the exhaust gases are collected in the exhaust filter during normal driving.Cleaning of the exhaust filter is also known as regeneration. The cleaning occurs automatically, approximately every 300 to 900 km, depending on driving conditions, and requires the engine to reach its normal operating temperature.Self-cleaning takes place when the vehicle is driven steadily at speeds between 60 km/h and 112 km/h (37 mph and 70 mph). The process normally takes 10 to 20 minutes. Self-cleaning can occur at lower vehicle speeds, but the process may take a little longer at a 50 km/h (30 mph) average speed.
Some driving conditions may not provide sufficient opportunity to begin the exhaust filter self-cleaning automatically. For example, frequently driving short distances in slow-moving traffic or in cold weather. When this occurs, the instrument panel displays a warning icon, depending on status, as follows:
Amber: Exhaust filter self-cleaning is required. Driving above 60 km/h (37 mph) for 20 minutes should clean the filter.
Green: Exhaust filter self-cleaning is complete.
Red: The exhaust filter is full. Contact a retailer/authorised repairer as soon as possible.
