There is a bleeder valve under the coolant cap. Click on the link below, and in the middle of the page, there are instructions on how to bleed the coolant system.

Changed out my coolant (OEM) earlier this summer while installing the LN low temp t-stat. After burping it a few times in the garage, I drove the car 125 mi to my WI home with the bleeder open; topped off and it's been fine ever since.
