I'm sure that's exactly what they do. It would be kind of a pointless feature if it didn't reserve enough power to start the car on a cold day, wouldn't it? Now, they may not reserve enough power to always cater to extreme situations, so if you live in an area where it occasionally drops to -20 I would be more careful, particularly in the latter years of the battery's life. But in more moderate temperatures? I'm sure it'll start just fine.
