2015 Mitsubishi Lancer Pedal Pads
Referencing the Mitsubishi ASA electronic parts catalogue for the CJ-series Lancer (2007–2017) and the 2015 Lancer workshop manual (Brake and Clutch sections), this model does use removable rubber pedal pads on the brake pedal, and on the clutch pedal for manual transmissions. The accelerator is a moulded pedal assembly without a separate rubber pad. So, pedal pads are relevant service items for the 2015 Mitsubishi Lancer.
On a 2015 Lancer, pedal pads do the simple but essential job of keeping the driver’s foot planted. The ribbed rubber surface gives grippy, comfortable contact, helping prevent slips under wet boots or during an emergency stop. They also dampen vibration and protect the underlying steel pedal plate from wear.
As part of routine servicing, they’re worth a quick look. Rubber hardens and polishes with age, especially in hot Aussie summers or frosty Kiwi winters. If the pad goes shiny, cracks, tears, or starts to lift at the edges, it’s time to replace it. A worn brake pedal pad can affect brake feel and control, and it’s the sort of thing that can raise eyebrows at a WOF or roadworthy check.
- Replace if the surface is smooth or slippery
- Replace if cracked, torn, or the ribs are flattened
- Replace if contaminated by oil/grease that won’t wash off
- Replace if the pad has shifted or won’t sit fully on the pedal plate
Swapping a pad is quick and inexpensive—no special tools, no programming, no bleeding. Most owners can manage it in minutes, but a workshop can fit it during a normal service.
- Pull the old pad off the metal pedal plate (start at a bottom corner).
- Clean the plate so there’s no grit or old rubber left.
- Hook the new pad over the top lip first, then work it down and around until the lip seats all the way around.
- Press firmly to confirm it’s evenly seated with no gaps.
Use quality OEM-equivalent rubber that matches the Lancer’s pedal shape—avoid oversized universal covers or bolt-on alloy overlays that can compromise grip or run foul of compliance. On automatics there’s just the brake pad, on manuals you’ll service both brake and clutch pads. If the pedal feels slippery at any point, don’t risk it—replace the pad before the next drive.
Popular questions about 2015 Mitsubishi Lancer pedal pads
How often should pedal pads be replaced?
There’s no fixed interval. Inspect them at each service or every 10,000–15,000 km. High-mileage commuting, wet weather, and muddy boots can speed up wear. Replace as soon as they’re shiny, cracked, hard, or loose.
Are aftermarket alloy pedal covers legal?
They can be, provided they fit securely and don’t reduce grip. Some universal bolt-on covers can fail roadworthy/WOF if they interfere with pedal control. Sticking with OEM-style rubber pads is the safe bet.
Why doesn’t the accelerator have a rubber pad?
The Lancer’s accelerator is a molded pedal with an integrated textured surface. It’s designed for smooth modulation rather than heavy pressure, so it doesn’t use a separate removable pad like the brake or clutch.
