WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Jeep Patriot and 2011 Jeep Compass. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The radiator is a cross-flow type (horizontal tubes) with design features that provide greater strength, as well as sufficient heat transfer capabilities to keep the engine coolant within operating temperatures.
The radiator has an aluminum core with plastic tanks. Although stronger than brass, plastic tanks are subject to damage by impact. Always handle radiator with care.
