Here’s how to top off the coolant (antifreeze) in your vehicle: open the hood, wait for the engine to cool down, and locate the coolant reservoir on the left side behind the headlight assembly. Proceed to unscrew the fill cap of the reservoir, being cautious of any hot pressurized vapors; unscrew the cap slowly.
