Level or temperature? That is the question
 
The info I put up is correct it is the same as the MB info, I have just checked
 
Temperature sensors are never in the reservoir because:
1) they can get emptied for some reason and so never generate a proper warning signal if there's no "too hot" coolant for the sensor to measure
2) the coolant temperature in them is quite different form the "real" inside of the engine that should/must be measured
3) reservoirs usually are the slowest flow point so lots of sludge gets stranded there leading to sensor fouling and misreadings
4) ...
