Smile Antifreeze bottle question

I can't find a high or low mark on the fill bottle. I noticed the bottom half is white plastic and the top half is black so when the engine was cold I filled it up to the point where the black and white plastic meets. Is this the correct level when unit is cooled? Thanks in advance.

To better understand this read the 2004 Service Manual.

I have an older computer and am not able to download the service manual. Perhaps just a straight forward answer on the height of the anti freeze in the bottle when the car is cold would be very helpful.

Fill to top of white plastic level and recheck after a drive and the car has reached normal operating temperature. Do NOT remove cap of the reservoir while the coolant is hot as you might get scalded and the vacuum in the reservoir will be broken, you can do it when cool and the coolant has reached a balance in the system. When cool the level should be back to the top of the white plastic of the reservoir.
