Parts for your 2014 Volvo Xc60-Pedal pads

2014 Volvo XC60 pedal-pads: what they do and when to replace them

Based on Volvo’s VIDA parts catalogue for MY2014, the 2014 XC60 Owner’s Manual (Controls and Driving), and OEM parts listings used by dealer service departments, this model is fitted with pedal-pads. The brake pedal uses a replaceable rubber pad, the clutch pedal (on manual variants) uses a similar rubber pad, and the accelerator typically has an integrated hard tread surface or a trim cover rather than a separate rubber pad. So pedal-pads are relevant service items on the 2014 Volvo XC60.

On this XC60, pedal-pads are all about safe, confident footing. The rubber brake (and clutch, if fitted) pad provides grip under wet shoes, spreads pressure evenly, and protects the metal pedal arm from wear. Over time, rubber can harden, smooth off, crack, or curl at the edges—this is when brake feel gets a bit slippery and stopping distances can be affected if a foot slips at the wrong moment.

As part of regular servicing, it’s wise to inspect pedal-pads annually or every 15,000 km, whichever comes first. In hot climates, lots of city driving, or frequent wet weather, they may age faster. If the XC60 has the factory aluminium “sport” pedal trims, the underlying brake pad is still a service part—check the rubber inserts for wear, not just the shiny cover.

• Signs it’s time to replace:
  • Surface feels smooth or glassy underfoot
  • Visible cracks, splits, or edge curling
  • Pad moves on the pedal or won’t stay seated

Replacement is straightforward for a technician and a practical DIY for many owners. Pop the old pad off, clean the pedal face, then warm the new pad slightly (sun or warm water) to make it supple. Hook the top lip on first and roll it down until the rubber lip seats evenly all around. Confirm there’s no interference with floor mats and that the pedal returns freely. Avoid thick aftermarket covers that can foul floor mats or reduce clearance.

For manuals, replace the clutch pad at the same time as the brake to keep the feel consistent. The accelerator usually isn’t a separate rubber pad on this model, if its tread is damaged, it’s typically a pedal assembly or trim piece rather than a rubber pad swap. A quick pedal check takes minutes and pays off in safe, sure-footed braking.

Popular questions about 2014 Volvo XC60 pedal-pads

Does the 2014 XC60 actually have pedal-pads?
Yes. The brake pedal has a replaceable rubber pad, and manual versions have a rubber clutch pad. The accelerator is generally an integrated plastic/metal tread rather than a separate rubber pad, unless fitted with an accessory trim kit.

How often should pedal-pads be replaced?
There’s no fixed interval, but checking them at every service is smart. Many owners replace the brake pedal-pad every 3–6 years, sooner if it’s shiny, cracked, or slippery. High mileage, heat, and wet weather can speed up wear.

Can they be replaced at home?
Usually, yes. It’s a simple remove-and-refit job. Ensure the new pad seats all the way around the pedal, then verify full pedal travel and no interference with your floor mat. If the accelerator surface is worn, that’s typically a different part than a rubber pad.
