not sure about your model year - if its not under a cover in front right near the firewall, then check in the trunk next to the spare. A good way to tell is if you have a jump start connector on the fuse box near the fire wall (a small door with a + sign on it), then look in the trunk under the carpeting and plastic cover.

a few choices 1) disconnect the battery (dunno if your model has a radio code, but if so, have it handy) 2) buy a trickle charger designed to top off a battery during long term storage 3) let it be, but then charge it using a battery charger before trying to start up again. Generally if your battery is in good shape, 15 minutes will top off a battery, but if you let it go completely flat, you may need longer and may actually disrupt the chemistry within the battery shortening its life..
