Default Cooling fluid indicator

Cooling fluid indicator came on. Dealer suggested little top of in case it’s minor evaporation. Added 0.5 liter and still below min.

Sounds like real problem?

Any similar experiences?

Coolant really doesn’t evaporate it’s a sealed system. Sometimes a new car coolant level will drop because the system is not fully bled and as the air comes up the level will drop.Unfortunately the amount of your coolant loss looks more like there probably is some type of a leak . If it was just a matter of trapped air it would’ve happened a long time ago .The amount that you were adding is a lot more than usually is required if it’s just a matter of the system not being fully bled.
