Abstract
A method comprises detecting particulates generated from a cooking device of a vehicle. In response to detecting the particulates from the cooking device, a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system of the vehicle is activated. This causes the HVAC system to dispel the particulates from the vehicle. Aspects also include lowering a window and repositioning air vents of the HVAC system to further facilitate dispelling particulates and helping to prevent particulates from entering the vehicle during use of the cooking device.
