If your car is seeming to lose coolant over the first few months I suspect it may be due to 2 things
1)air pockets from failure to fill correctly at assembly, which will eventually be expelled (remove the cap & top up the radiator itself)
2)dissolved air in the coolant which will form pockets as it gradually come out of solution (as the coolant becomes hot) and be expelled (remove the cap & top up the radiator itself).
The dealer might give you some coolant to keep for this.

Once you no longer find a gap in the radiator itself you should only top up the bottle.

If it doesn't settle down after a few months or if very severe, then more sinister causes need checking.
