car storage question
i'll be out of town for 1 month and i was wondering if there is anything i need to do (like disconnecting the battery) to ensure that my baby will run fine when i get back?
i just got service A done 2 weeks ago, the car will be in a garage, and i'm planning on washing the car before leaving. anything else?

Your battery should be OK for a month if it's in good shape. Usually good up to 3 months, with normal drain. Be sure it's charged before leaving. DO NOT disconnect the battery or you'll be resetting your ESP, ABS, window limits, seat limits & memory, steering wheel travel, and all kinds of stuff.
There is info published on the forums on how to do the resets, if you got this too late. See https://mbworld.org/forums/showthrea...ight=ESP+Reset and http://forums.mbnz.org/forums/forums...10257&posts=21
And if your battery runs down, don't jump start it.
