Then you have air in the system. With the engine off and cool, open the bleeder valve. Fill the radiator till the coolant starts running out of the bleeder. Then close the bleeder and top off the radiator and reservoir.

That is just that. You have air trapped in the line. Open the bleeder valve until all that comes out is water. You need to bleed out the air.
maybe the cooling system needs flushing.
If bleeding doesn't help then you may have a restricted radiator/heater core, defective thermostat, or head gasket starting to fail. And if you have a electric fan do you hear it coming on? That too can cause overheating if it's not working. Good luck and hope this helps.
