Start the car from cold with the cap off, as it's warming up just 'burp' the large hoses to/from the rad. It should be able to sort itself out. Don't let it boil though with the header tank cap off though as it'll spew the contents over your inner wing!  :y
Set heater controls to hot too!  :y

and let the heater fan run,
DONT fill it up with cold water if it gets low you will blow the head gaskets.
