Hypothermia is defined as a body core temperature below 35.0 °C (95.0 °F) in humans. [2] Symptoms depend on the temperature. In mild hypothermia, there is shivering and mental confusion.
Cold injury (or cold weather injury) is damage to the body from cold exposure, including hypothermia and several skin injuries. [6] Cold-related skin injuries are categorized into freezing and nonfreezing cold injuries. [5] Freezing cold injuries involve tissue damage when exposed to temperatures below freezing (less than 0 degrees Celsius).
A 2001 NHTSA study found that 40% of passenger cars have at least one tire under-inflated by 0.4 bars (6 psi) or more. [1] The number one cause of tire failure was determined to be under-inflation. Drivers are encouraged to make sure their tires are adequately inflated at all times.
In the fall, there can be wide swings between afternoon high temperatures in, say, the 70s, and nightly low temperatures in the 20s and 30s − a large enough drop to make the TPMS think there's ...
Colder temperatures cause the air inside a vehicle's tires to compress, lowering the air pressure.

Low temperatures cause engine oil to become more viscous, making it more difficult to circulate the oil. Air becomes more dense the cooler it is. This affects the air-fuel ratio, which in turn affects the flammability of the mixture. Fuel becomes thicker because the paraffin wax in the fuel is thicker at low temperatures (most common in diesel ...
