Why is it especially important to check tire chains, batteries, and antifreeze before winter trips?

Pick an answer

1. Cold weather mainly affects tire pressure, not batteries or antifreeze performance, something that trips up drivers unfamiliar with trips
2. Cold weather puts extra strain on these systems, and a failure in freezing conditions is more dangerous to deal with
3. These checks are only relevant in summer heat, not winter cold
4. This check replaces the need for a normal pre-trip inspection
