Last time, ever left my MyVi for 2 months without starting the engine at all.
Ended up the battery totally kong and the ECU kena reset.
The neighbourhood mechanic came down with a new battery also cannot help.

Had to call P2 tow-truck to send it to the service centre.

It's recommended to drive at least a round for an old car.

It is possible but must start vehicle every week to charge the battery. My VR4 is hardly use now... only start up every Sunday and drive for short distance to run in the engine and water cooling systems.
