If there isn't one, pull the bottom radiator hose.

There is a drain fitting located on the passenger side bottom corner but if you have the v6 model you will not be able to reach this by hand, you can use a universal joint and socket and a long enxtension to remove it.

Suggested Repair

Drain the radiator through the fitting at the passenger-side bottom corner. On a V6, use a universal joint, socket, and long extension because the fitting is hard to reach by hand. If there is no drain plug, remove the lower radiator hose.
