Here's something you don't see everyday. In fact, I've driven this Sedona several times over the past week and just noticed it. It's the side airbag warning sticker, and it tells you all the things you're not supposed to do because of the side airbags. I find myself in a conundrum on this location, because on one hand I hate the obligatory (and unnecessary) airbag warning stickers that litter the average new-car cabin...
Of course the warnings are as pointless as ever. "Do not use any accessory seat covers." "Do not install any accessories on the seat or near the side airbags." This one actually surprised me: "Do not use excessive force on the side of the seat." I want to know how "excessive force" is defined and how you use it on the side of the seat.
On second thought, no I don't.

Maybe the excessive force is like the Scion tc's recall to fix the side airbags that would go off if a door was slammed.

Huh. That bright yellow color would've ensured I at least *noticed* the sticker the first time I opened the door on the car. So I was left wondering how it is that it took you so long. On the other hand, after noticing it and seeing the little side airbag illustrations on it I'd probably have proceeded to completely ignore it, without ever reading any further down than the bright yellow area. This is as good a place for this as the tire placards inside the rear of the door jambs on most cars. :D

I think it's in a good location - out of sight once you're inside and driving.
Those power seat controls look awesome, BTW.

the pwr seat controls look even better when illuminated.
