Your drain plug is located at the very bottom of the radiator, towards the drivers side of the vehicle and on the engine side of the radiator.

Note:

Do not use pliers to turn the drain plug. Use your fingers only.

Position a clean collecting container under drain-cock location.

Without removing the pressure cap and with system not under pressure, turn drain-cock counterclockwise to open.

The coolant reserve bottle should empty first, then remove the pressure cap.

If coolant reserve bottle does not empty first:
Check condition of the pressure cap and cap seals.
Check for kinked/torn overflow hose from filler neck to reserve bottle.

Allow cooling system to drain completely.
