Coolant Level?

[Sleiper]

hi guys washed my new car 2day and checked all the fluid levels, upon doin this i noticed that although the radiator was full of coolant the plastic bottle to the right was showing on the minimum. Should i be concerned about this? cheers stu

'Min' is where it should sit when the car is cold - you might expect it to read higher when the car is warm.
