Hi and welcome.

This is the correct method - the same for the 2004 model:
The fluid levels should be checked with suspension depressurised (ideally), but with engine running, you can put it on the lowest suspension level and wait for it to fully lower and on level ground. The following diagram shows the levels for a C5 X7 - the BLUE being the maximum fill level and he ORANGE the minimum level.
