How can I make my vehicle cockpit particle fx free zone

I´m doing a car game which involves some particle fx such as dust, smoke, exhaust steam etc. problem is that when I do a handbrake turn all that stuff get´s into the cockpit. I know there´s some option to make them have collisions but is there a general way to create an area to make them not appear. Just give me a link if this has been answered in some other topic. Thanks.
