Parts for your 2009 Mitsubishi Outlander-Pedal pads

2009 Mitsubishi Outlander pedal pads

Technical sources confirm pedal pads are indeed used on the 2009 Mitsubishi Outlander. The Mitsubishi Motors Service Manual (Chassis – Brake section) specifies a removable rubber pad on the brake pedal, and on the clutch pedal for manual models. The Mitsubishi ASA electronic parts catalogue for CW-series (2007–2012) lists these rubber covers as service parts. Safety standards and inspection guides such as ADR-related roadworthy criteria in Australia and NZTA VIRM (WOF) notes also reference non-slip pedal surfaces, which aligns with the Outlander’s use of replaceable pedal rubbers. The accelerator on this model is typically an integral pedal assembly and doesn’t use a separate rubber pad.

On the Outlander, pedal pads do a simple but vital job: they give grippy, non-slip contact in all weather, improve pedal feel, and protect the metal pedal plate from wear. Whether it’s school runs or weekend trips, keeping that rubber in good nick helps maintain safe, predictable braking and clutch control.

As part of regular servicing, it’s smart to check the pads every 10,000–15,000 km or at each service. If the surface has gone smooth, hard, cracked, shiny, or gets slippery when wet, replace it. Manual models have two pads (brake and clutch), automatics/CVTs just need the brake pedal rubber. Some trims may have sport-style covers with rubber inserts—inspect the inserts the same way.

• Signs it’s time: noticeable smoothness, cracks, missing chunks, or the foot sliding off in the wet.
• Quick replacement tips: clean and degrease the pedal plate, warm the new pad slightly to make it supple, hook the bottom edge first, then work the lip fully around the plate. Make sure floor mats can’t interfere with the pedals.
• Avoid using silicone dressings or greasy cleaners on pedal surfaces—they reduce grip.
• If a pad is missing or badly worn, the vehicle may fail a WOF/RWC check due to inadequate non-slip surfaces.

Stick with quality, OE-spec pads for correct fit and durability. It’s a low-cost item that makes a big difference to confidence behind the wheel.

Popular questions about 2009 Mitsubishi Outlander pedal pads

Do 2009 Outlander automatics have a clutch pedal pad?
No. Automatic and CVT models only have a brake pedal pad. Manual models add a clutch pedal pad as well. The accelerator is an integral assembly without a separate rubber cover.

How often should pedal pads be replaced?
There’s no fixed interval—replace when worn. Many owners find pads last 5–10 years depending on use, footwear, and climate. Check them at each service and swap them if they’re smooth, cracked, or slippery.

Can worn pedal rubbers cause a WOF/RWC failure?
Yes. Inspection standards in Australia and New Zealand expect pedals to have a secure, non-slip surface. A missing or perished pad can be flagged and may need replacement to pass.
