Can you help. Removed battery and didn’t see vent pipe so don’t know where it goes. Not obvious in front bonnet bay. Please helps

It is just a plastic tube that connects to a porthole on top of the battery and goes through a small hole next to the A/C evaporator drain hose.

Are you sure the 453 battery is vented? The only reason the 451 battery has a vent is because it is inside the passenger compartment.

My comment refers to the 451 model.

Just checked my 2016 fortwo 453 U.S. version. With battery under hood, no vent. As was said, only vented on 451s because battery was in passenger compartment under floor.

for four in the 450 section?

If it’s a new 453 forfour then the 453 section is correct. IIRC, the 453s of both body styles started production in 2015 but we didn’t get the fortwo here in the U.S. until 2016.

And the EV's were still 451's in 2016.

The 453s were available in Europe in late 2014 as 2014 models.
