Arrow Taking a long break from the G

In a few days I'll be out of the country for 1 month and staying in Shanghai, China (with my wife and her family). I'm going to miss the G dearly but I'd like to know what is needed to be done prior to my departure to ensure the car will be in solid driveable condition when I come back. The G will be parked outside at my parents' driveway and will be car-covered. More than likely the car will not even be turned on, so should I need to disconnect the battery? Overfill the air in the tires? Fill the gas entirely or halfway (it's currently less than 1/4)? Any feedback is much appreciated, TIA

if no one starts her..you could always unplug the coil
before starting her..30 seconds would suffice

battery disconnect is always a good idea. dry gas when you come back
but don't think you need it for 30 sit

Just get your parents to fire up the engine once a week for 5 mins, you'll be fine....that's what I pretty much did last Dec-Jan
