Test the battery before it lets you down

Cold weather reduces a battery's ability to deliver current, while a cold engine needs more to start. A battery that was fine in summer can struggle on a foggy December morning. A quick health test tells you where it stands.

Check coolant concentration

Coolant protects against overheating and also against freezing if you travel north toward Murree or beyond. Use the correct coolant and mix recommended for your car.

Make sure you can see and be seen

Winter fog reduces visibility, so check:

  • Headlights, tail lights and fog lights
  • Wiper blades and washer fluid
  • Heater and demister performance

Look at tyre tread and pressure

Tyre pressure drops in cold weather. Worn tread also reduces grip on wet roads. Check both before winter travel.

Frequently asked questions

Should I warm up my engine for a long time in winter?
Modern fuel-injected engines need only a short idle before gentle driving. Long idling wastes fuel.
