Parts for your 2013 Subaru Exiga-Pedal pads

2013 Subaru Exiga pedal-pads: what they do and when to replace them

Pedal-pads are absolutely used on the 2013 Subaru Exiga. Subaru’s own technical references confirm it: the Subaru FAST electronic parts catalogue for the Exiga YA series (MY2013) lists a serviceable Pad – Brake Pedal, and manual-transmission variants also list a Pad – Clutch Pedal. The Subaru Exiga factory Service Manual (Brake > Pedal section) includes inspection points for pedal pad wear and damage. On most Exiga trims the accelerator uses a moulded treaded face integrated with the pedal arm rather than a separate rubber pad, and is replaced as an assembly if worn or damaged.

On this model, the brake (and clutch, where fitted) pedal-pad is a hard-wearing rubber cover that grips the driver’s footwear and helps prevent slips, especially when shoes are wet. It also preserves the metal pedal face from wear. Over time, the rubber hardens, smooths off, or cracks, which can reduce grip and affect comfort. Because a firm, non-slip pedal surface is a safety item, keeping these pads in good nick is part of sensible servicing for any Exiga doing family or urban duty around Australia and New Zealand.

Recommended maintenance is straightforward. Most workshops check pedal-pad condition at each routine service or every 10,000–15,000 km. Replacement is quick and inexpensive—on an automatic Exiga it’s usually just the brake pad
