Default aw4 dipstick question

This is probably the most bonehead question u will ever here but here we go when I look at my dipstick on the cold side it has the line and says full right above it and its real low on the dip stick well there is another line a good 2inches above the other line is this line supposed to be there ??? Is that the full level cold my mind is drawing blanks

The line above the word COLD is the correct mark.
