A method for helping to control a vehicle occupant protection device includes taking an image of the vehicle interior with a digital imager having an array of pixels. There is no risk that surface sinks are generated in the surface of the instrument panel to thereby deteriorate the aesthetic appearance thereof, since there is no need to provide bosses on a reverse face of the instrument panel for heat clamping. The method further includes the step of loading the language-independent data and the language-dependent data of the first set up data set corresponding to the first printer language into the main memory of an electronic printer controller. In one or more exemplary embodiments, the database is a multi-tenant database in a multi-tenant system providing instances of a virtual application to multiple tenants. The first rod comprises a first primary pivot accommodated in the through hole and slidable on one of the contact surfaces, and a first auxiliary pivot slidable on the first surface. Another terminal of the capacitor is electrically connected to a ground terminal of the package.
