Radiator Cap

I've looked all around without moving things and can't locate the radiator cap on my '05'. Where would that thing be. I think heard that there isn't one. Is this true?

It's on top of the surge tank by the alternator. The radiator is closed and serviced from the cap on the surge tank. There isn't a conventional "radiator cap" like on older cars.

Thanks. I'll look again. My coolant has been serviced, but by the dealer. No problems. Just wondered.

I've always known that there was a cap on the plastic overflow tank but just didn't realize it was the pressure cap. Found it. Thanks guys.
