Where do I put coolant please?

Hi, XC60 SE NAV D4 AUTO.

Daft question but where do I put coolant? Everytime I take a corner the warning light pops up on the dash.
Image 1 or 2? Thank you

Image one with the black cap with yellow on it.

Make sure you buy correct coolant for your car... It should be green. Do not mix other coolant colours with what's already in the reservoir.

Definitely NOT image 2. That's the power steering fluid reservoir.

As Kev0607 says, it's the black cap with the yellow on it towards the rear of image 1.

For that small amount just use water to top up, get the coolant checked for freezing point at your next service .

Distilled water would be better if having it ..

If you look at the lid of the PAS fluid reservoir, it literally tells you what it is.

I'd agree with Clan. There is an important question here. Why is the coolant low?

There is little point in adding antifreeze if there is a leak. Add water first and if the level remains ok, then follow Clans advice.

If the level drops, then further investigation is a good idea.

Could be natural evaporation, but if the loss is consistent then something is amiss.
