I wouldn't do anything.

We have left our MINI sitting for 4 days and it was fine.

If it is in a garage, you'll be fine.

if you have a garage....

1. Pull car inside
2. shut all windows, boot and bonnet
3. press lock button on key
4. shut garage and enjoy trip!

Seriously, 4 days alone is nothing.
