is your reservoir empty?
the resevoir was empty, i topped it off with (oat) coolant. my guess or hope is that when the dealership cpo'd it they didnt run it out after coolant replenish and when i drove it off the lot it burped it? i will keep an eye on it and see if its holding.
that is possible but I would check it once a week a take a pic to observe any drops and establish a timeline of how much it’s dropping.
2023 P300 40k mileage.. on our first road trip to the west cost I noticed a low coolant warning when accelerating while entering the interstate and also on kick down when passing.
Took the truck to Riverside CA JLR for unrelated issue. Left there with a full coolant tank. Issue of warning light and symptoms never cured. Now almost ever time upon starting, the coolant warning locked on the dash. I checked the pressure tank and it reads Max, and has not shown any loss for weeks.
Could there be air in the system ? Or should I run the truck with the pressure tank cap off to bleed air ?

in my case it had turned out that the hose from the turbo cooler to the rad had a leak. that only showed up while accelerating hard or when the turbo boosted. while at idle or just driving at speed, it wasnt an issue as much.the dealership replaced that known issue with a new type of hose and its been trouble free since then. there are three radiators to choose from and lots of hoses so it possible that there is a tiny weep from a hose that doesnt show up even under a pressure test.
