Oh, I am pretty sure the reason is to reduce migration of carbon monoxide from automobile exhaust into the dwelling. It is code in many jurisdictions in North America as well that the garage be below the level of the dwelling, don't know about the height though.
Carbon monoxide is heavier than general atmospheric gas and therefore tends to lay low. Well, that is what I understood.
