No modern cars have a radiator cap. The overflow bottle cap is where to remove and add coolant. Remember, do not overfill past the "full" line.
To get the cap off, place a shop cloth over the cap and gently grab the cap with a pair of chanel lock pliers and turn counter clockwise.

Your antifreeze will "work", but check the back of the lable for type of mixture and ingrediants.

Your next task is to find out where the missing fluid went. Is the radiator leaking? Is the heater core leaking? Is the headgasket leaking? If it has been over 2 years, you really should have the system flushed and new antifreeze added.
