What does the 'Check Coolant' light mean on a 91 Mercury Tracer wagon?

Check the coolant level in the radiator when it is cold. -------------------------------------------------------------------- **Actually the check coolant light indicates the reserve is low. When facing the engine with the hood up...look to your left and you should see the tank. Fill that to the fill line and then run the car until the thermostat starts to pull the coolant...add when it gets low and until it stops taking fluid. Do not add directly into the radiator unless the reserve tank is empty.

No need. Just drain the radiator and after adding the coolant just run the engine and add till full. I recommend getting non diluted coolant for the simple fact that it costs the same as the diluted mixture, so essentially your getting twice as much.
