The front and side cameras are located in the radiator grill and outside mirrors, while the rear view camera is positioned above the rear registration plate. Unlike the previous analog generation, the electronic control for the surround system operates based on digital video data from the cameras. \n\nThe 8.4-inch touchscreen monitor in the front console of the vehicle offers two options for high-resolution image display: a split screen mode offering the front and rear perspective (combined with a front and rear ultrasound parking assistant), or a bird's eye view with overlapping dynamic and static Guidance Lines and integrated 'door open' warning display.\n\nOther electronic features on board the SUV include a lane-departure warning assistant, high-beam assistant and camera-based object detection.\n\nMagna, the largest independent 4WD/AWD supplier globally, also provides its drivetrain technology to the Maserati Levante. The fast-reacting Actimax™ all-wheel transfer case with electronically controlled multi-disc clutch provides variable distribution of the drive torque between the front and rear axles. Depending on the driving conditions and traction, the system is able to vary the engine power reserves from the standard rear-wheel drive to a symmetrical 50:50 distribution within 100 milliseconds....
