Default Checking Coolant Level

Hi Rocket Riders !!!! I have a 2013 427 Vert and would like to check the Coolant Level. The Manual states If coolant is visible but the level is not at or above the " FULL COLD MARK " add fluid. Where is the "FULL COLD MARK ? My Tank has a clear bottom half ( and I can see Fluid ) and the top half is black but I can't see any FULL COLD MARK . The manual does not have an example . Where is the Mark ????
Thanks in advance , always a great knowledge base :

Fill the coolant surge tank with the proper DEX-COOL coolant mixture until the level inside stabilizes at the FULL COLD mark on the front of the surge tank.

Thanks rKj427 I went out and did find the FULL LEVEL mark on the front of the tank a very unlikely placement for it unless you know where to look ...... thanks
