i say take it to a dealer because i dont assume everyone is mechanicaly inclined

first, check the coolant resivior level to make sure you have plenty of coolant

what i do at work to relieve camrys of air pockets when i drain/fill the cooling system is
1. attach a coolant funnel to the radiator cap and fill with a small amount of toyota coolant. cover funnel with a rag to prevent splashes
2. raise front of vehicle slightly so the vehicle sits on an angle
3. start car and let run for 20 mins or so, hitting the gas and raising the RPMs every so often
4. squeeze the radiator hoses to allow air to evacuate
5. The air pocket should bleed out naturally
