As per most of the forumers, try to restrict yourself to using FILTERED TAP Water.
Try to avoid filling up your car's cooling system with open tap water (due to residue, particles, etc.).
Avoid filling with distilled water as it is mineral hungry after distillation process. As such, it'll attract oxygen thereby promoting corrosion.
For a quick reference guide on Coolant:Water ratio, pls refer to this:

Loss of fluids within the car cooling system may be affected by various factors. If it's serious, it'd be best to get it to a radiator specialist whom would run a pressure test on the system for you.
For starters, you might wanna visually inspect your car cooling system yourself before sending it to the specialists.
Ensure all caps/outlets/breathing valves are properly torqued and tightened. Check all connection hoses for seepage.

In a nutshell, try the above steps in order to maintain a long łasting trouble free cooling system for your baby

P/S - No one has answered my earlier question. Does all 7 of the window switches for the Forte 1.6 SX light up when you switch on your vehicle headlamps?
7 switches includes 4x at the drivers door console+1 each at each doors. Thank you.
I checked mine 1.6sx..only 5 lights up...4x at driver and 1 at front passenger..the 2x back passenger didnt light up.
