Original Abstract Submitted

A reflection display system for displaying a display image for a vehicle occupant of a motor vehicle by reflecting the display image on a windshield is provided. The system includes a display unit which is designed to display the display image on a display surface, a detection sensor system for detecting the displayed display image on the display surface, and a control unit which is designed to actuate the display unit for displaying purposes, ascertain detection information on the basis of the detected displayed display image, ascertain the presence of a foreign object on the display surface of the display unit on the basis of the displayed display image and on the basis of the detection information, and signal a disruption of the display if the presence of a foreign object on the display surface of the display unit has been ascertained.
