Perfectlap, do not forget you are reading a manual written by a large company in Germany who is working very hard to be politically correct and ecologically sensitive.
Germans are sticklers on clean air nowadays (didn't use to be like this, but the damage caused to the black forest by automobile fumes changed everything) and I would not be surprised they put this in the manual just to cut down on the amount of exhaust fumes in the air.
Read any greenie's list of things to do to save our planet and you'll see right up on the top of the list:
"Do not warm your car before driving it. This causes unneeded pollution."
That's my read on this... we could toss around mechanical and performance and long wear comments all day long, but in my opinion, it's all about keeping the conservationists happy.
(Note: Conserving natural resources and protecting our environment is important to me! I'm just stating why I think that line is in the manual.)
