Parts for your 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander-Pedal pads

2011 Mitsubishi Outlander pedal pads: what they do and when to replace them

Based on Mitsubishi service information and OEM parts catalogues for the 2011 Outlander (CW/ZH series), pedal pads are fitted and relevant to this model. All variants use a replaceable rubber brake pedal pad, while manual-transmission models also have a replaceable clutch pedal pad. The accelerator pedal is an electronic throttle module and doesn’t use a separate rubber pad.

On a 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander, the brake (and clutch, if manual) pedal pads do a simple but vital job: they provide a grippy, anti-slip surface so the driver’s boot stays planted, even when it’s wet or muddy. That extra traction helps pedal feel and control, cutting down the risk of a foot slipping at the wrong moment. Over time, the rubber hardens, goes smooth, or cracks, especially in Aussie and Kiwi conditions where heat, grit, and moisture are part of daily driving.

It’s smart to check the pedal pads at each service or around every 10,000–15,000 kilometres. If the pad surface is shiny, worn smooth, cracked, or the edges are peeling, it’s time to replace. Another giveaway is a foot that feels like it’s sliding when wearing wet work boots or jandals/thongs—don’t ignore that. Keeping the pads clean helps too: a quick wash with mild soap and water is fine, but steer clear of silicone dressings or greasy cleaners that can make the surface slippery.

Replacement is a quick, DIY-friendly job on the Outlander. With the engine off, pull the old rubber pad off the metal pedal plate (start at a corner), clean the bare metal with a dry cloth, then work the new pad on by hooking the top lip first and rolling it down till all edges are seated. Check it’s fully clipped all the way around, then press the pedal a few times to make sure it feels secure. For manual models, repeat on the clutch pedal. Choosing genuine or reputable aftermarket pads that match the Outlander’s year and transmission keeps the fitment right and the grip consistent.

Beyond comfort, fresh pedal pads can help avoid a fail at a WoF (NZ) or roadworthy inspection (AU) if the tester decides the pedals don’t have adequate anti-slip surface. It’s low-cost insurance for safe, confident braking every day.

• Inspect every service, replace if smooth, hard, cracked, or slippery
• Clean with mild soap, avoid silicone or greasy products
• Accelerator pedal isn’t a pad—don’t attempt to “re-pad” it

Popular questions about 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander pedal pads

Which pedals on the 2011 Outlander have replaceable pads?
All models have a replaceable brake pedal pad. Manual-transmission Outlanders also have a replaceable clutch pedal pad. The accelerator pedal is an integrated electronic unit and doesn’t use a separate rubber pad.

How often should the brake pedal pad be replaced?
There’s no fixed interval. Inspect at each service and replace when the rubber is shiny, hardened, cracked, or your foot slips—often anywhere from 60,000 to 120,000 km depending on use and climate. Frequent wet or muddy driving can speed up wear.

Can a worn pedal pad cause a WoF or roadworthy fail?
It can be flagged if the tester feels the pedal surface lacks adequate grip. Keeping the pad in good nick—clean, unworn, and securely fitted—helps avoid hassles at WoF (NZ) or roadworthy (AU) checks.
