Parts for your 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander-Pedal pads

2014 Mitsubishi Outlander pedal-pads: what they do and when to replace them

Pedal-pads are absolutely relevant on the 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander. Mitsubishi’s own technical sources confirm it: the 2014 Outlander service manual (Group 35A—Brake, Group 22—Clutch) specifies inspection of the brake and clutch pedal rubbers, and the Mitsubishi ASA Electronic Parts Catalogue (ZJ/ZK, AU/NZ) lists a serviceable rubber pad for the brake pedal, with a separate clutch pad on manual models. The accelerator is a drive-by-wire module and typically doesn’t use a removable rubber pad, it’s an integrated plastic tread unless fitted with accessory alloy covers. Major aftermarket catalogues also list a brake pedal pad for this model year.

On the Outlander, the pedal-pad’s job is simple but important: it gives the driver solid, slip-resistant grip underfoot, cushions vibration, and maintains consistent pedal feel in the wet. That bit of ribbed rubber on the brake (and on the clutch for manuals) helps avoid foot slip, which is a safety issue, especially with damp shoes, beach sand or mud common to Aussie and Kiwi driving.

• Check the pad each service for glazing (shiny surface), cracks, hardening, or ribs worn flat.
• If it feels slippery, is splitting at the edges, or the underlying metal is visible, replace it.
• A worn brake pedal pad can attract a defect at WOF/roadworthy inspections.

Replacement is a quick, low-cost job and a nice little safety refresh for a 2014 Outlander:

1. Remove the old pad by peeling it off the metal pedal plate from one corner.
2. Clean the pedal face—wipe off grit and old rubber so the new pad seats properly.
3. Warm the new pad slightly (sunlight or warm water) to make it more pliable.
4. Hook the top lip over the pedal, then work the sides and bottom on until the edge lip sits evenly all the way around.
5. Press the brake firmly a few times, ensuring the pad doesn’t shift and there’s no interference with floor mats (use the mat retainer).

Use a genuine Mitsubishi pad or a reputable aftermarket equivalent that matches the Outlander’s year and transmission (auto vs manual). Don’t glue pads on—if it won’t seat, it’s the wrong part. For manuals, replace the clutch pad at the same time so pedal feel is balanced. Inspect at each service and expect replacement every few years depending on use, footwear, and climate.

FAQs

Does the 2014 Outlander accelerator have a replaceable pedal pad?
The accelerator is an electronic module with an integrated tread, so there’s no separate rubber pad to swap. Some vehicles may have dealer or accessory alloy pedal covers, check fitment if present and ensure they’re secure.

How often should the brake pedal pad be replaced?
There’s no fixed interval. Inspect at every service and replace when ribs are worn smooth, the rubber’s cracked or hardened, or if it feels slippery—often somewhere between 3–8 years depending on driving conditions.

Are auto and manual Outlander pedal pads the same?
Both use a brake pedal pad, but only manuals have a clutch pad. The shapes can differ, so match parts to transmission and trim via the VIN or a parts catalogue.
