Car Storage

Hi, I live in Philadelphia, PA and own a Nissan Versa. I'm going away for 4-5 months, December - April, and I'm not taking my car with me. I'm going to leave it at my parents house. Is there anything I should do to the car before hand to prepare it for not being driven for that long?

It would be much better if someone drove it around at least once a month but if you can't just park it where it's not exposed to the elements and disconnect the battery. Keep the fuel fairly low so you can add fresh fuel when you return.
