no but if in the winter you do not put in the car the engine will freeze you can also use water during the summer No!
You have a leaking heater core. You might smell antifreeze if you turn on the defroster.
=To properly flush the antifreeze on a 2002 Yukon you will need a antifreeze vacume system you will need to start the car and have it running turn on all the heating modules to high and have the car reved at about 1.5 r.p.m, or a little higher to activate the vaccume this will start sucking the old antifreeze out. When the radiator is empty{you will know when it is empty because there will be no more antifreeze coming out}you can then fill it up with half and half antifreeze[half water half antifreeze].=
A small amount of antifreeze smell may be emitted from the radiator overflow. However if you smell antifreeze you need to make sure there isn't a leak. It may be something simple if you catch it early.
why does car need topping up with water and antifreeze each week? why does car need topping up with water and antifreeze each week?

Yes. It raises the boiling point of the water it's mixed with so it won't turn into a gas at 100 degrees C.
The smoke is actually antifreeze mixed with air. The most common cause of this is a leaky heater core.
Ford vehicles come from the factory with a 50 / 50 mix of antifreeze and distilled water
You can but then the mixture will turn into gel and your entire coolant system will be ruined. If you continue driving your engine will overheat and your car, destroyed.
if you can smell antifreeze you need to replace the heater core in the vehicle
According to the 1997 Lincoln Town Car Owner Guide : ( it came from the factory with antifreeze that meets Ford specification ESE-M97B44-A ) * that would be green color antifreeze *
