Hebrew translation:סימון מנחה או סימון מפלס
Explanation:
In the case of car batteries using distilled water, this is the mark indicating the level of water required for the proper functioning of the battery. the reference below includes the following:
"A car battery only has a limited lifespan, and there are several types. One type is where you have to top up the cells with distilled water, and neglecting this can wear the battery, so it is essential to ensure that the cells of the battery are covered at all times. There is usually a guide mark for the level required."
