Dumb Question

Even though we all should trust our electronic monitors (yes, that's sarcasm font), I still like to check fluids before embarking on a road trip.
Question on the brake fluid reservoir under the hood. Surprisingly, could not find anything after a search. There is something akin to a dipstick on the reservoir cover that has two marks. If it was an old fashion dipstick, I would expect the optimal fluid level to be between those two marks.
Can anybody confirm that's the case?

Yep, molded to the brake fluid reservoir there is a min and max level. As long as your brake fluid is between there you're good to go.
