Any 12+, 12++, or G13 spec coolant will do... (mind GG40 as is the colour of G13, but spec wise more like 12++ as is glycol based but with silicate for anti corrosion... so although can be mixed with G12++ if needed, would be better not to and stay with one or the other).
G13 is the latest and G12++ is still very common (12 and 12+ now quite old and not as common and the newer ones are better in aluminium alloy engines and radiators)
If that is not what is in it now then make sure you flush it well and then fill with the new one and will be fine for many years.
The 12s are pink and can be safely mixed... the 13 is violet and best not be mixed with any 12 as they are glycol based, while 13 is glycerin based. Do not mix either 12 or 13 with older blue or green types as they are not long life and do not offer the same corrosion protection for alu engines.

+1 mixes with any of the coolants so no need to go to town on flushing the system.
