This is difficult so pay attention- (1) Remove the radiator cap (2) Start filling the radiator with a proper mixture of water and coolant(Most climates us a 50/50 mixture) (3) Once the coolant reaches the radiator neck stop filling and let the coolant go down, you can speed this up by starting the engine and letting the coolant start to circulate. (4) keep doing this until the coolant level remains at or near the top of the radiator. Happy Motoring!
The coolant is added by filling up the reservoir bottle. This model is not filled through a radiator cap.
You may have a coolant leak that will need repaired.
Open the radiator cap and pour coolant in. If you're filling an empty system, you'll want to leave the cap off, and run the engine for 30 minutes or so to 'burp' out any air in the system, then top your coolant off again.

When facing the front of the Mercury Mountaineer, the drain plug is on the lower left of the radiator. Place a bucket under the drain plug spigot before loosening to catch the coolant. To empty the radiator, turn the drain plug three-quarters of a turn. Tighten the drain plug before re-filling with coolant.
by filling radiator or reservoir according to specs, no tap water, which contains dissolved calcium and other contaminants; and changing fluid at least by prescribed intervals.
Add coolant to the full cold line on the coolant reservoir when engine is cold.
Hey Nancy==Simply remove the drain plugs from each side of the block and the bottom of the radiator. CAtch the old coolant and dispose of it properly. Refill the system with 50/50 mix of coolant and water. GoodluckJoe
