The user manual also gives guidance... look to see how it describes 'cold', 'normal' and 'hot' engine temperatures.
The reading of the complete sentence I quoted, gives the implied meaning. Not to sit around idling to get heat into the engine, whatever any individual interpretation of what "warm up" could be.

Do not warm up the engine with the car at a standstill, it is preferable to set off straight away, driving at moderate engine speeds.

Sitting around for five to ten minutes on idle, is not for the engine's benefit, more for the user, whatever their motives or reasons.
