Once all the air is out, take the screw completely out (may want some gloves, that little joker is HOT) open the rad. cap, and crank the car back up. Pour some more AF mix into the radiator until it starts coming out of the bleed hole, then look in the bleed hole for bubbles. If you've got 'em, pour more AF in there and massage the top hose again. Keep pouring and massaging until you don't see any bubbles coming out of the bleed hole, then replace the rad. cap and bleed screw IN THAT ORDER. Hop back in and drive and see if it gets hot again. If it does, you've still got air, pull over and do it again. It helps to lug the engine going up a hill while doing this, as long as it's cool before you hit the hill. Good luck man, the KA's cooling system is a biatch.
