Does the computer also say low coolant. On start-up mine did that so I'm pretty sure it does that to make sure you check that the coolant level is ok. If coolant level is good then the thermostat is probably stuck open.

When do you add coolant with the car started or not?

You should add coolant with the engine off and cool, top off the radiator and fill the coolant reservoir to the cool or cold level. When the system is hot or running it will be pressurized and will be dangerous to open. You can however add coolant to the overflow reservoir at any time.

Check your temperature guage. Is the vehicle overheating? Are you losing coolant? Did you overfill your oil or do you have fluid leaking anywhere onto your exhaust? If you are using coolant or if its running hot, it is probably a head gasket issue.
