So that the fluids don't freeze. When a liquid freezes it expands this can burst pipes and tubes, the frozen liquid also blocks the circulation of that liquid so that it can not do the job it is supposed to do. Antifreeze contains alcohol and other substances that freezes at a much lower temperature than water.
