Every evening, cover your windscreen on the inside and outside with newspaper to prevent it icing up, and lift up your wipers. Make sure you have a winter type screenwash, at the appropriate concentration, in your windscreen washer bottle: in fact it is essential to have a full windscreen washer bottle in good working order, because in winter, windscreens are "whitened" very quickly by salt being thrown up onto them.
- Check the state of your battery frequently, low temperatures can cause it to discharge.
- Check that the oil in your engine is suited to your car and the conditions, because cold has a tendency to thicken it.
- Wash your car regularly to protect the chassis, bodywork and tyres from corrosion due to the salt on the roads.
