Chim Power Steering Fluid - How to read levels?

[V6Alfisti]

I was checking the PAS levels yesterday and wanted to make sure that I had the right understanding.

Would I be correct that the min and max are where I have placed them on the picture attached?

Or is it like some american cars,where position 1 is the min level when the engine is cold, 2 being the max when cold, and 2 being the min when hot and 3 being the max when hot.

Thanks

That's my understanding of it.

But do you check it resting on the threads or screwed in?

I personally normally pull it out, dry the dipstick, then screw it back in, then pull out to check.

Looks like my original idea that 2 is min and 3 is max - correct (re-assuring to know!)
