Open the hood. At the very front of the vehicle will be a radiator. Find the radiator cap. Then follow the overflow tube to a reservoir. Open the lid to this and add your coolant to the max level or full mark. Replace lid and let engine run for a days worth of travel. Check the fluid level again and then check this and all fluid levels on a regular basis.
