Winterising A Car
Winterising prepares a car for cold weather.
What is Winterising A Car?
Check battery, antifreeze and tyres. Use winter washer fluid. Treat rubber seals. Checking wipers, lights and the heater and demisting system improves safety in dark, wet months. A winter kit with an ice scraper, de-icer, gloves, a blanket and a torch is useful. In some countries winter tyres are compulsory in winter conditions or during set months.
How it works
Preparation prevents cold-related failures.
Why it matters for your car
Weak batteries fail first. Check winter tyre rules.
