We derive formulas for the Fr\'echet (singular) subdiferentials of the bilateral minimal time function T:Rn×Rn[0,+]T:\mathbb{R}^n \times \mathbb{R}^n \to [0,+\infty] associated with a system governed by differential inclusions. As a consequence, we give a connection between the Fr\'echet normals to the sub-level sets of TT and to its epigraph. Finally, we show that the Fr\'echet normal cones to the sub-level set of TT at a point (α,β)(\alpha,\beta) and to epi(TT) at ((α,β),T(α,β))((\alpha,\beta),T(\alpha,\beta)) have the same dimension.
