1- Fill the fuel tank and put in some fuel stabilizer.
2- Change the oil. After you take the car out of storage, change the oil again after 500 miles or so.
3- Disconnect your battery
4- Put the car on jack stands or overinflate the tires (45 psi or so) to prevent tire flatspotting.

I have my mom start mine and take it around the block once in a while. If no one is there to do that, then do what everyone else here says. Filling the tank is important, so make sure that no matter what you at least do that.

Why is filling the tank important?

if the tank is full it helps to prevent it from drawing condensation.
