The radiator drain is located under the radiator (you may have to raise your vehicle to spot it beyond the shield). (1)Remove radiator cap and attach a 3/8" diameter hose to the drain fitting to direct the coolant into a container and then open the drain fitting with a pair of pliers. (2)Flush radiator with fresh water from a garden hose until water runs clear through the plug. (3)Refill with 50/50 mixture of water and antifreeze. Piece of cake, huh!! The hardest part is locating the drain fitting which appears to be well hidden, but I think it is on the driver's side of the radiator. Good luck. By the way, intructions are from Haynes Repair Manual Ford Ranger 1993 - 2005.

Where is the radiator drain plug on a Kia Spectra 5?
The drain plug is located directly on the bottom of the radiator; more on the driver's side of the car. You will not see it unless you remove the black, plastic shield that protects the front underbody of the car; there are two small bolts (10mm) and 4 small 'phillips' plastic screws that need to be taken out to remove the black, plastic shield. The top of the drain plug has a 'X' on it. Just unscrew the plug with a phillips screwdriver and the coolant will come out. Have fun :)
