Other information:
If you are leaving your vehicle dormant for more than 3 weeks, you may want to
take these steps to protect your battery.
Disconnect the negative cable from the battery.
Anytime you store your vehicle, or keep it out of service (e.g., vacation)
for two weeks or more, run the air conditioning system at idle for about five
minutes in the fresh air and high blower setting...
In some localities, it may be a legal requirement to pass an inspection of your
vehicle's emissions control system. Failure to pass could prevent vehicle registration.
For states that require an Inspection
and Maintenance (I/M), this check verifies the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)
is functioning and is not on when the engine is running, and that the OBD II system
is ready for testing...
