I'm due to have an extended trip for 3 weeks overseas. My wife and my daughter will be tagging along with me... I will have to leave our Innova diesel at the condo parking for the whole duration of our trip...
Should I disconnect the batteries para di ma diskarga? I'm not sure if I can ask somebody to have it started and used during the duration...
If you disconnect the battery, walang power for the security system.
Ok lang yun kahit 5 months or so pa yan naka-park. If you have a relative around, mas maganda iwan mo sa kanya. Parking in your condo doesn't guarantee safety esp pag napansin na parang di nagagamit yung car.

Walang problema kung 3 weeks lang, ganyan din sa office namin. Iniiwan lang sa parking slots ng matagal pag nasa provicial or out of the country assigment.
Ganyan din sa mga dealers, nakabilad pa nga sa araw at minsan buwan ang inaabot.
Just make sure it has security guard roving around, baka madale spare tire mo, ilipat mo na lang muna sa loob ng cabin.

Mine is not Innova, pero madalas mangyari sa akin yan, pag bakasyon ko, sa ride ko (M/T). Naiiwan ng ilang weeks na naka-park lang.
Sa akin naman, ginagawa ko, disengaged yung hand brake, pero iniiwan kong naka-kambyo sa first gear, para di umurong yung kotse. Okay lang ba itong practice na ito?
And also, may nakapagsabi rin sa akin, na dapat i-ikot (paandarin) din ito kahit 2X a week lang daw, para di ma-oblong yung tires, lalo na kung matagal na idle at stationary yung sasakyan sa parking.
3 weeks ok lang iwan yan pero like the other poster suggested if you have an alternate parking (families' place)that will have somebody to watch over your ride would be ideal....
no need to disconnect the battery as well .... longest i left my car sa house was about a month and a half (97civic vtec) hindi ko din pinapunasan sa kasambahay so sobrang kapal ng alikabok hanggang loob .. tas un leather seatcover nagkaroon pa ng parang moist or lumot ba yun parang fungi hehehe ... anyways oneclick lang start agad then derecho sa carwash hehe
Yung Altis ko 2 months straight na stagnant sa garahe when I'm out of the country. Di ko tinanggal battery. Wala naman naging problema. Pagabalik ko one click naman lagi.
Share ko lang to, mine was a honda city IDSi 03, for some reason it was left in an open parking lot for 4 months, it was never moved and started, battery was totally dead, all emblems and side mirror were gone. Then when we tried to jump start it, the engine ran just like what it was before and so the vehicle. Tires ko hindi naman na oblong I didn'n replace any tire hangga sa nabenta sya. Nothing changed except nag fade konte yung paint.
Makisingit na rin, mine is Nissan Grand Livina. My job rotation is 1 month/ 1month kaya every other month ko lang nagagamit. Warm-up lang ni misis twice a week and engaged yung handbreak (pero pag-uwi ko kalso na lang at baka mag stuck-up nga yung break - sabi sa mga thread s dito). So far wala namang problema.
Yung nga lang mukhang madumi break pad, kasi after 1 month ay may kala-kalawang yung break disc kaya pag dahan dahan release ng break ay maingay pero after some time ay nawawala na.
Kaya yung 3 weeks nakatengga na Innova ay security problem lang ang nakikita ko and kalawang sa break disc.
