Original Abstract Submitted
A scent diffusing system for a vehicle includes a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system is in fluid communication with a passenger compartment. A duct assembly extends between the HVAC system and the passenger compartment. The duct assembly includes a duct including a receiving extension defining a receiving cavity. The receiving extension defines locating tracks. A holder assembly is slidably received within the locating tracks. An interior of the holder assembly is in fluid communication with an interior of the duct via openings defined by the holder assembly. A scented pad is disposed within the interior of the holder assembly. A controller is configured to activate the HVAC system to direct air through the duct, through the interior of the holder assembly, and into the passenger compartment to diffuse a scent within the passenger compartment.
