Here's a general answer to all makes and models. Antifreeze is kept in the radiator (the metal zig zag tubing thing with fins in front of the engine block.) and a plastic reservoir (the one with marking of Max and Min markers. Not the one for windshield wiper fluid.) for extra holding. You can fill through the cap on top or some models on the side of the radiator WHEN THE ENGINE IS COLD. When you need to refill (if the antifreeze is lower than the mini mark on the reservoir,) you can fill it through the opening of the reservoir. Do not over fill. Because you need the head space on top of the Max mark to let the heated antifreeze to expand and siphoned back to he radiator when the engine is cooled.
