Cold weather and using your lights, heaters, and wipers more can strain your battery. A car battery typically lasts about five years, and a cold spell can end it if it's nearing the end of its life.

Check the condition of your tires for cracks and uneven wear. Also, check the tread depth, which should be at least 1.6 mm on 75% of the contact surface.

Make sure your brakes are in good condition, especially if you're concerned about the ABS. Worn out or faulty brakes are dangerous to drive with in winter
