Dutch term or phrase: Pomp koelvloeistofvulinstallatie ontluchten

This is a manual for a vehicle. I think it should be translated to "deairing the radiator", but I'm not sure. Any suggestions?

I leave the translation of 'koelvloeistofvulinstallatie' up to you (if that's in a car, it strikes me as a fairly pompous designation).

Your answer helped me along the way, but it wasn;t exactly what I needed. I found reference to this later in the project again and it has to do with the air-conditioning system, not the radiator as I initially thought. The correct translation would be **bleeding the cooling system**

pressure relief valve / relief built up pressure/air from the coolant system.

Explanation:
can you post the whole sentence ? is it in reference to let the air out after filling your coolant system (burping it). or a component/valve that will let you relief pressure similar to the ones found on radiators used for heating homes ?
