Zusammenfassung:Title: Cleaning unit and method for cleaning an optical sensor device Abstract The invention relates to a cleaning unit for cleaning a sensor window pane of an optical sensing device, in particular for optical distance measurement, more in particular a LiDAR sensor device, of a motor vehicle. The cleaning unit comprises a wiper. Further, the cleaning unit comprises a drive unit which is arranged for wiping the wiper over the sensor window pane. Advantageously, the cleaning unit can be arranged for wiping a first portion of the wiper, such as for instance a first wiper tip, over the sensor window pane from a first position towards a second position such as to wipe at least a first portion of the sensor window pane located between said first position and said second position. The cleaning unit can then also be arranged for moving the wiper back from said second position substantially towards said first position without said first portion of the wiper wiping over said first portion of the sensor window pane.
