It's a sealed system so it shouldn't lose much if anything. If it does need a topup then use a 50/50 water, coolant mix. If it continuously needs a top up then best to get it checked for leaks.

It is essential that you use the correct coolant.
The wrong stuff can trash the engine.
As with all servicing, do it when the schedule calls for it and not before.

You can check the coolant level easily enough. Its just under the seat

The maintenance schedule calls for the coolant to be replaced every 2 years.
