Per service manual, draining is done by the small plug on the bottom of the radiator.
It seems to be the lowest point of the system.

Open the heater controls inside the car.
Unbolt the lower radiator hose, open the expansion bottle, and wait some minutes to get the coolant out, done.

Mine had drainplug in the bottom of radiator (changed cambelt today).

As for opening heater controls, no need as there are no valves in the system. Only air is routed to/bypassing the heater matrix.
