I'd like to burp it, not sure how.
Found the procedure below here

Here is The factory service procedure for draining and filling.

Draining and Filling Cooling System

Caution: With a pressurized cooling system, the coolant temperature in the radiator can be considerably higher than the boiling point of the solution at atmospheric pressure. Removal of the surge tank cap, while the cooling system is hot and under high pressure, causes the solution to boil instantaneously with explosive force. This will cause the solution to spew out over the engine, the fenders, and the person removing the cap. Serious bodily injury may result.

Important: If the procedure below is not followed a low or high coolant level condition and/or vehicle damage could result.



Park the vehicle on a level surface.
Remove the surge tank cap:
Raise and suitably support the vehicle. Refer to Vehicle Lifting.
Place a drain pan under the drain ****.
Open the radiator drain ****.
Allow the cooling system to drain completely.
Inspect the engine coolant for the following:
Discolored-follow the flush procedure below.
Normal in appearance-continue with the next step.
Notice: When adding coolant, use DEX-COOL coolant. If silicated coolant is added to the system, premature engine, heater core or radiator corrosion may result. In addition, the engine coolant will require change sooner-at 50 000 km (30,000 miles) or 24 months.

Notice: Refer to Fastener Notice in Service Precautions.



Close the radiator drain ****. Tighten the radiator drain **** to 2 Nm (18 inch lbs.).
Fill the cooling system through the surge tank.
Fill the cooling system with a 50/50 mixture of DEX-COOL coolant and deionized water.
Start the engine.
Allow the engine to idle for 1 minute.
Install surge tank cap.
Cycle the engine RPMs from idle to 3000 in 30 second intervals until the coolant temperature reaches 99°C (210°F).
Shut off the engine.
Remove the surge tank cap.
Start the engine.
Allow the engine to Idle for 1 minute. Fill the surge tank to 12.7 mm (0.5 inch) above the COLD FULL mark on the surge tank.
Install the surge tank cap.
Cycle the engine RPMs from idle to 3000 in 30 second intervals until the coolant reaches 99°C (210°F).
Shut off the engine.
Remove the surge tank cap.
Top off the coolant as necessary, 12.7 mm (0.5 inch) above FULL COLD mark on the surge tank.
Rinse away any excess coolant from the engine and the engine compartment.
Inspect the concentration of the engine coolant.
Install the surge tank cap.
