Storing a S560

we are planning to spend 4 to 6 months in Europe. What will we need to do to the car? I’m under the impression that disconnecting the battery is a no no, for example...

thanks

Get a trickle charger. It will keep the battery in good shape while you're gone.

Trickle charger. Inflate tires a little more. I live in NY and FL so sometimes cars end up sitting for a while. Never had any issues.

Trickle charger, inflate tires with 5-10 more psi than recommended, leave with full tank of gas, and preferably indoors and uncovered.

Fill the Gas tank all the way up to keep moisture from forming in the tank.....
