if its only a year then simply park it and cover it. also recommed to start it up approx once a month and drive it a few yards to stop the tyres getting flat spots. and disconnect the battery. keep the windows slightly open, and if you can find it a few big bags of silica in there to absorb moisture and prevent mold in the cabin.

And dont leave the hand brake on as they tend to seize on

Inflate the tires to 55psi, install a battery trickler and stick a rag in the exhaust pipes to stop rodents.
