Pre-delivery inspection: coolant level minimum to the "MAX mark".
At the pre-delivery inspection a coolant level above the "MAX mark" is permitted.
Extracting the increased coolant level is not necessary because the coolant level can be lowered on new vehicles through the venting process.
Inspection: coolant level above "MIN mark".

-- Ob hybrid vehicles check the additional coolant reservoir.

Determine cause of fluid loss, which cannot be attributed to normal use and repair (repair procedure).
