    hey -

    I commute through LA and am starting to develop symptoms that look like ozone over-exposure. I have no idea how to set the controls on my prius to minimise air (smog) coming in from the outside. I've looked at the "climate" options on the main control screen, but I don't see any options to recirculate air, etc. Can anyone help with this? Also, does the air filter pull out ozone, or just particulates? I assume the prius has an air filter. :)

    Are there air purifiers that I can buy to help improve cabin air?

    Thanks in advance ---

    Patty

    Ok the recirculation button is on the steering wheel and on the ac control menu. Looks like every other cars recirc button. The filter pulls out particles, as far as ozone I am not sure. They do make an ionic breeze for cars; you can buy that.

    Perhaps this might help?

    The first picture on the left column. It's the Plasmacluster ionizer (similar to the one on the Camry Hybrid)
