Low Coolant Sensor Question

A friend of ours has a late model E class wagon...I think it may be 2011. She texted me about getting a low coolant message. Since she was in the area I told her to stop by so I could take a look.

The reservoir seemed fairly full. But when I removed the cap I noticed that the level was just below the top of the two electrical prongs in the reservoir. Am I correct to assume that coolant needs to cover completely those two prongs in order for the sensor not to be tripped?

Thanks.
