If you are planning to leave for 3 months, I suggest you disconnect the battery.

I am not sure, but if you reconnect the battery when you return you will probably have certain things that need to be re-programmed at the dealership.

If you're going for 3 months, the best way is to put your car in my place. Let me take care of it.

Yeah, you should disconnect the battery.
