Open the hood and locate the radiator cap; slowly twist it counterclockwise to relieve any pressure. Remove the cap, then pour the appropriate coolant mixture into the radiator until it reaches the fill neck. Replace the cap securely and check the coolant level in the overflow tank as well, adding more if necessary.
