To eliminate doubts about incomplete air bleeding at the factory.
After say 3000Km, I would say that you should ensure your overflow tank level is somewhat above LOW when cold. If not, add Coolant or distilled water =< the FULL mark. Pencil-mark the level.
Drive car to normal temp and allow to cool e.g. overnight.
Check overflow again is near the previous. If the ambient temp is higher than the previous time when you checked the previous time you may even notice the level is higher , and vice versa.
Check actual radiator is full to the top. If not, fill with distilled water or coolant. This should eliminate doubts about incomplete bleeding at the factory or accumulation of dissolved air driven out of coolant.
From then on, the overflow level should stay pretty much fixed, except for the inevitable slight evaporation via the overflow. That would be the water component as glycol scarcely evorates? A bit of reflective foil heat shielding to the engine side will help.
If the level continues to fall, go back to the dealer and report your efforts.
If any of this is wrong, don't hold back the corrections.
