Its your temperature light, it will blink if your coolant is to low or if the coolant is getting to hot

Only distilled water, but you should check your coolant expansion tank and see where the level of the coolant is then get back to us.
Your in a cold climate like me so you might not want to add anymore water.

PS. I think your car would look better with just the all black rims not the ones with the red lip.

If you are sure that coolant is a 50/50 mix already you can get by with a cup of distilled water until you get coolant, which should probably should be ASAP cuz your obviously low
