Probably need to bleed the air from the system.
I've read about two ways and a search should turn up the exact procedure. The one I used was turning the heat on full blast and unscrewing and tilting the coolant resevior.

As a note, be aware that the bleed hose is covered by accordion plastic wrap, it isn't exposed.
Loosen and raise the coolant expansion tank ~4 inches and then:
- Loosen coolant hose on heater core and pull back hose sufficiently so that bleeder hole (arrow) is no longer sealed by connection.
- Top up coolant until it flows out of coolant hose bleeder hole.
- Push coolant hose on connection and tighten.
- Install coolant expansion tank cap.
