Parts for your 2017 Mitsubishi Lancer-Pedal pads

2017 Mitsubishi Lancer Pedal Pads

Technical references such as the Mitsubishi Lancer 2015–2017 Service Manual (Brake group and Clutch group) and the Mitsubishi ASA Electronic Parts Catalogue for CF-series Lancer confirm the 2017 Lancer is fitted with replaceable rubber pedal pads on the brake pedal, and on the clutch pedal for manual models. The accelerator pedal is a one-piece drive-by-wire module without a separate removable pad, so “pedal pads” are absolutely relevant to the brake (and clutch) only on this model.

On a 2017 Mitsubishi Lancer, pedal pads do a simple but vital job: they give the driver reliable grip and feel underfoot, especially in wet boots or when hopping in after the beach. The contoured rubber face spreads pressure evenly and helps prevent slips during hard braking or frequent clutch work around town. Genuine-style pads are designed to lock securely over the metal pedal plate so they don’t shift, squeak, or foul the pedal’s travel.

They’re a wear item. Over time rubber hardens and goes shiny, the surface pattern flattens, and small cracks can appear around the edges. If the pad is smooth, loose, cracked, or a corner’s missing, it’s time to replace it. In both Australia (RWC) and New Zealand (WOF), excessively worn or missing pedal pads can attract a fail because they compromise pedal control.

As part of routine servicing, it’s smart to inspect pedal pads every service or roughly every 10,000–15,000 km. Replacement is a quick, low-cost fix: clean the metal pedal face, warm the new pad slightly to make it more pliable, then hook the lower lip and work it over until the retaining edge seats all the way around. For manuals, match the specific clutch pad, for autos, use the correct larger brake pad. Avoid universal metal covers or bulky dress-up plates that can slip or interfere with pedal movement.

• Keep pads clean with mild detergent, avoid silicone dressings that make them slippery.
• Dry out floor mats and remove grit that accelerates wear.
• Confirm the pad sits fully home and doesn’t rub on floor mats or trim.

If the accelerator looks worn, replace the entire pedal module rather than trying to add an aftermarket cover—factory design maintains proper feel and clearance.

Popular questions about 2017 Mitsubishi Lancer pedal pads

Do all 2017 Lancers have replaceable pedal pads?
Yes—every 2017 Lancer has a replaceable brake pedal pad. Manual models also have a replaceable clutch pedal pad. The accelerator pedal is a complete assembly and doesn’t use a separate rubber pad.

How often should the pedal pads be replaced?
There’s no fixed interval. Replace them when the rubber is smooth, shiny, cracked, hardened, or loose. Many drivers see several years out of a pad, but high‑kilometre or urban stop‑start driving can wear them faster. Check them at each service.

Can worn pedal pads cause a WOF or RWC failure?
They can. Inspectors may fail a vehicle if a pedal pad is missing, excessively worn, insecure, or so slippery that it affects control. Fresh, correctly fitted pads help meet safety expectations in both NZ WOF and AU RWC checks.
