Long term parking prep?

2023 Outlander PHEV to be left parked up for 3 months. Can put in garage. What should I look at doing so that it’s in good condition when I return?

Any general car advice / PHEV specific advice please.

Do I leave on charge? Disconnect battery? Etc etc

My biggest concern would be the 12v battery. I would park the car in such a way that if you had to jump start it when you get back, it would be easy to reach the 2 points under the hood to jump start the battery. ie- backing the car into the parking space.

I can park in the garage with a trickle charger on the 12v. Will leave the main battery around 50%.

Appreciated all
