open your radiator cap when engine is cold, place a funnel into the radiator neck,mix dex-cool antifreeze at a 50/50 ratio or you can buy premixed antifreeze, place a catch bucket under the car below where the radiator will be filled, pour antifreeze into funnel.

What type of coolant? If it is engine coolant you can open the hood and see the radiator in the front, add it to the reservoir on the side.

Open the hood and look for the coolant reservoir. Open the cap to this tank which should contain either green or orange fluid, make sure it says radiator or coolant on the cap. Add compatible fluid to the operating range.

Cool down the engine, open the hood, remove the radiator cap and drain the existing coolant, then add the new coolant and start engine but keep the radiator cap open , run the car for around 10 minutes and then close the radiator with the cap and close the hood.

Allow vehicle to cool before adding coolant. Remove cap on coolant reservoir,use funnel to add coolant; little at a time. Fill the reservoir close to "F" mark. Replace the cap.

You add coolant at the radiator. You will need to use a funnel to make it easier. Just make sure to use the correct antifreeze and purified water.
