In unventilated spaces indoors. Exhaust gases are emitted if the heater starts.
In locations with combustible or flammable material nearby. Fuel, gas, long grass, sawdust, etc. may ignite.
When there is a risk that the heater’s exhaust line may be blocked. For example, deep snow under the front part of the car can obstruct the heater’s ventilation.

Remember that the preconditioning can be started by a timer that has been set for a long time in advance.
