doesn't matter what mode you put it in. there is a 99 percent change the after 2 weeks all the air will be out of the suspension system

Do you try to use "C-Teck", will protect the battery for long terms;

My 63 sat all last winter with a battery maintainer on the battery, no issues come spring and the ride height was still the same. If you are worried about the car dropping over time, measure with a tape measure the distance from the jacking points on all four corners of the car to the ground, then cut blocks from either 4x4 or 6x6 wood posts about 1/2 inch shorter than your car to ground measurement. When storing the car place the blocks at the jacking points so when or if the car settles it will still be supported and not resting on deflated bags. Starting the car will inflate the bags quickly as most of the weight if not all will be supported. Happy travels.
