It the vehicles of today, the coolant appears in a separate tank against the firewall. You should not be able to see fluid when you open the radiator cap.
Right behind the bumper support with your hood open, you will notice the radiator. On the passenger side of the car there should be a cap on top of the radiator, unscrew cap, add fluid.
Open the radiator cap when the engine is cool, check the radiator's fluid level, and add appropriately. NEVER OPEN A RADIATOR CAP WHEN THE ENGINE IS HOT OR OVERHEATING. Check your car's owner's manual for specific details.
Saturn radiators don't have caps to check and add fluid to the radiator you open the overflow tank and add it there
Open up your radiator resiviour. Look at the under side of the cap. That's the color of radiator fluid you want. It should match whats in the resiviour now.
Open the radiator cap when engine is cool. Coolant should be right at the top. If the cooling system is healthy, the coolant reservoir will keep the system full.
open the plug (screw) at the bottom of the radiator, open the radiator cap and let the system slowly gravity bleed while pouring more fluid into the radiator. do this with vehicle off.

No. Let it cool down before you open the radiator cap and then put water in the radiator
its a closed system, no cap. Add fluid to the plastic container. You can convert to an open system, but that's not cheap. www.jeepmj.com
Many VW Beetles from '98 to '05 don't have a traditional old-school radiator cap. The radiator fluid usually is poured into the radiator fluid recovery bottle. There should be a fill line on the bottle.
There is just an overflow container, no radiator cap. Remember, pink or blue fluid only.
