Default Coolant Flushing Issues

I attempted to flush my coolant in my 2016 XC60 T6 3.0 Platinum this evening and I ran into this problem. I suctioned most of the coolant from the reservoir tank with about 2/3 of the capacity removed. I then tried to drain at the coolant at the radiator at the driver's side port but no coolant drained out. This port only turned 90 degrees and had a paint line to indicate the closed position. I tried this a number of times and the same result. Are there any other relief valves or other drain plugs that I should know about on the engine, to help the coolant drainage process? I was going to flush the system with distilled water and then refill with Pentosin coolant.

Any help would be appreciated.
