2013 Nissan Dualis (J10) Pedal Pads: What They Do and When to Replace Them

According to Nissan’s J10 service documentation (Brake and Clutch sections) and the Nissan FAST electronic parts catalogue, the 2013 Nissan Dualis is fitted with rubber pedal pads on the brake pedal, and on the clutch pedal for manual-transmission models. The accelerator is an electronic pedal assembly and does not use a separate rubber pad. So yes—pedal pads are used on this model, and they’re a small but important safety item that deserves a look during routine servicing.

Pedal pads provide grippy, compliant contact between the driver’s shoe and the pedal face. On the Dualis, the brake (and clutch, if fitted) pad’s ribbed rubber helps prevent slips in wet boots and reduces vibration transmitted through the pedal. Beyond comfort, good pads help maintain consistent pedal feel and braking control, and they support roadworthy/WOF expectations by ensuring a non‑slip surface where it counts.

They’re wear items, especially on vehicles doing lots of urban kilometres or frequent stop‑starts. During every service, a quick inspection is smart: check for hardened rubber, smooth/glazed surfaces, cracks, or edges curling away from the metal pedal. If the ribs are mostly worn flat or the pad can be twisted on the pedal, it’s time to replace. Many owners pair pad replacement with brake fluid changes or clutch checks to keep everything tidy and safe.

• Shiny or slippery pedal surface
• Cracks, tears, or missing ribs
• Pad shifting on the pedal or curled edges
• Reduced pedal feel or foot slipping in the wet
• WOF/roadworthy fail due to pedal condition

Replacement on the Dualis is straightforward: the old rubber pad is pried off and the new one is stretched over the pedal plate, seating all the way around the lip. For manuals, repeat on the clutch. Choose quality OEM‑spec rubber for correct fit and longevity. Between services, keep pads clean with mild soapy water and a soft brush, then dry thoroughly. Avoid silicone dressings or greasy cleaners on or near the pedals. Also check floor mats don’t ride up under the pedals—secure them with the retainers so the pad can do its job properly.

Popular questions about 2013 Nissan Dualis pedal pads

Does the 2013 Nissan Dualis have pedal pads?
Yes. It has a rubber brake pedal pad, and manual models also have a rubber clutch pedal pad. The accelerator is an electronic unit without a separate rubber pad.

How often should pedal pads be replaced?
There’s no set interval—replace when worn, cracked, slippery, or loose. A quick check at each service (or about every 10,000–15,000 km) keeps things safe and compliant.

Will worn pedal pads affect WOF or roadworthy inspections?
They can. Excessively worn or slippery pads may be flagged during WOF/roadworthy checks because they compromise pedal grip and driver control.
