Adding coolant involves the following steps: 1. Tighten the radiator drain switch and fill the radiator with coolant until it overflows. The typical coolant capacity is 4 to 5 liters. 2. Tighten the radiator filler cap. 3. Fill the engine coolant reservoir until the liquid level reaches the full mark. 4. Warm up the engine until the thermostat valve opens. 5. Turn off the engine and wait until the coolant cools down. 6. Remove the radiator filler cap and check the coolant level. Coolant, also known as antifreeze coolant, prevents the engine from freezing in winter and cools the engine when it generates high temperatures during operation, ensuring the vehicle functions properly in various environments.
