Should you add water to low coolant?
It is usually best to add the correct mix of antifreeze and water (usually 50/50). In a situation where there is no antifreeze available, yes, add water, then check the coolant later to see if the mix is adequate, and adjust the mix if necessary.

There is a reservoir container marked "coolant" in the engine compartment. Add a mixture of 50% antifreeze and 50% water. (If you use "50/50" or "pre mixed" antifreeze, DO NOT ADD WATER). Let the engine get warm and fill to the full line.

Why do you add antifreeze to the coolant?
coolant is a mixture of antifreeze and water (usually 50/50) If you were to use just water, you would not have either freeze protection or overheat protection. Water freezes at 32 degrees. Antifreeze could protect engine to -20 to -30 degrees. Water (with no pressure) will boil at 212 degrees. Antifreeze will delay "boil-over" to a much higher temperature (I am not sure of number)
