    The "enhanced" charcoal filter is meant to cut down on odors. (about $10 higher in the U.S.) But if it also helps to trap dust particles it may be worth a try.

    I only occasionally roll down my windows while driving (too much traffic noise here) and I always have the "recirc" button pressed in and use AC. This has cut down the dust very much. Now I need something to eliminate the pizza smell, cheeseburger smell, chili dog smell... :cool:

    In lower mainland BC we've been getting smoke from the interior fires for at least the last week, seems longer,,, White sky, red sun, dark red moon at night. Seems a little cooler most days too, fwiw.

    On the radio they never called it smoke though, it's: "fine particulate matter, airborne" lol.

    I keep a folded Swiffer Sweeper( Just the actual insert itself ) insert in my glove compartment.
    I've done this for years, and different vehicles.
    When I notice dust building up? I pull it out and just wipe it away.
    Sometimes just to kill time in Drive-Thru while waiting.
    It's easy prevention, and keeps the dash looking dust free.
