According to my 2006 owners booklet and coolant capacity is .85 gallon or 3.2 litres. Hope this helps.

I think that capacities are in section 1 or 2 for future reference.

Don't worry about it, just fill up the overflow bottle, run the engine, refill if neccessary( basically over fill) then let her run hot.. all the excess will piss out of the overflow tube, til she settles at the right volume.
