The plastic coolant reservoir on the fender feeds directly into the coolant system. Just add coolant to the reservoir and if you have drained the coolant or otherwise emptied the system, you may need to check the level in the reservoir after running the engine, or more accurately, after the engine has cooled. Once the coolant level has stabilized, just check it periodically to make certain that the coolant level never gets too low.
