Hey there,

I have a Mercedes CLS 500, 06. With only 14K on it. I also have it serviced almost 2 thousand miles ago.

I have to go abroad for at least 4 months and I am worried that how will I keep the car in a running condition. I was thinking of doing following things

-Disconnect the battery
-Put fuel stabilizer in the tank so that Fuel doesn’t go bad.
-Store it in underground garage with all weather car cover.

Is there anything else I can do to make it sure that when I come back after 4 months, the car start in first go. I do have some one who may be able to come and start the engine for 10ish minutes every 2nd weekish. However, I was hoping I can get away with doing the 2 things mentioned above and not have to depend on some one to take care of the stuff.

Can some one please help me out what should I do and whats the best way to handle this long absence and making sure the car runs optimal when I come back.

put your car on jackstands..so your tires wont have a flat spot... put a box of baking soda in your cabin to reduce odours that may accumulate.

I can drive it for you for the 4 months j/k

i remember reading in one of the manual...

put a full tank of fuel

would recommend against disconnecting the battery... may cause more problems than helping it.

the fuel additive / stabilizer may not be necessary either.

Good Luck!
