s
uch as carbon monoxide. Danger of
i
ntoxication and death. In very severe
w
inter conditions (temperatures b
elow -23°C), it is necessary to allow t
he engine to run for 4 minutes before
s
etting off, in order to ensure the

it r
equires a minimum vehicle speed of 25 mph
(
40 km/h), as well as the engagement of:
