There is a proper bleeding process for these cars that is not listed above. it takes about 11-12 minutes and involves this.

Connect a battery charger to the battery or jumper cable ports under the hood.
Turn ignition to the ON position. If equipped with a START button, push button (with key fob installed or active), but do not depress the brake or clutch pedals. This will turn the ignition on, but not crank the starter.
Set heater temp to MAX and blower to low speed.
Press the accelerator pedal to the floor for 10 seconds.
The self bleeding procedure will begin (via the electric water pump) and will run for about 12 minutes. During this time the water pump will alternately turn on and off. Do not remove cap while bleeding procedure is running.
When bleeding is complete, double check coolant level and adjust as required. Replace coolant cap.
