I'm guessing it has the standard air filter in the A/C system. It does, however, have a HEPA filter that you can turn on for a few minutes at a time.

the cabin air filter is in the glove box might want to change that if its been 10,000 miles when that gets dirty it gets dusty in your car. It also has a dust pollen cycle i belive correct me if i am wrong i thought i read it somewhere in the manual

Mine came out greenish black after 22k miles.........

And it's also a Toyota part, so don't buy it at the Lex dealer for double retail....I think it was about $27-ish with tax here in Socal.

I wouldn't do that. The oil/liquid from any air freshner may compromise the paper filter.

Just spray Febreeze inside the cabin instead...
