Parts for your 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander-Pedal pads

2017 Mitsubishi Outlander Pedal Pads

Pedal pads are absolutely used on the 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander. Mitsubishi’s own technical literature (2016–2019 Outlander Service Manual, Group 35A – Brake) shows the brake pedal is fitted with a replaceable rubber pedal cover, and the Mitsubishi ASA electronic parts catalogue lists dedicated pads for the brake (and the clutch on manual models). The accelerator on these models is a one-piece pedal/lever assembly and doesn’t use a separate rubber pad.

On every 2017 Outlander variant, including PHEV, that brake pedal pad is there to give grippy, dependable footing—especially handy with wet boots on a rainy arvo. The pad’s soft, patterned rubber spreads pressure for comfort, dampens vibration, and provides a sacrificial wear surface so the metal pedal plate underneath doesn’t polish up and become slippery.

As part of regular servicing, it’s smart to give the pedal pads a quick once-over. Look for smoothing or glazing of the surface, hardening or cracking of the rubber, torn edges, or a pad that’s starting to slip off the pedal plate. If any of that shows up, replacement is cheap insurance for safe, confident braking.

Care is simple: keep the pad clean and oil-free. Wipe with mild soapy water and a soft brush, avoid silicone dressings or greasy cleaners that can make it slick. Make sure floor mats can’t creep under the pedal and that the pad’s tread pattern is still nice and defined.

Replacing a brake (or clutch, if fitted) pedal pad is a quick DIY or workshop job:

• Park safely, ignition off, in Park with the handbrake on.
• Peel the old pad off the metal pedal plate (it’s just a snug rubber cover).
• Warm the new pad slightly to make it supple, hook the top lip on first, then work it evenly around until the edge sits fully in the pedal plate groove.
• Press-test around the perimeter and do a careful pedal feel check before driving.

Stick with genuine Mitsubishi or quality OEM-equivalent pads for the right fit and rubber compound. For manual Outlanders, the clutch pedal uses a similar removable pad. Leave the accelerator alone—because it’s an integrated assembly, universal “dress-up” covers can interfere with travel and aren’t recommended.

Popular questions about 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander pedal pads

Do all 2017 Outlanders have removable pedal pads?

Yes for the brake pedal, and for the clutch pedal on manual models. The accelerator pedal is an integrated assembly and doesn’t use a separate removable pad.

How often should pedal pads be replaced?

There’s no set kilometre interval—replace when the rubber looks smooth, hard, cracked, torn, or loose. Many drivers see replacement somewhere between 60,000 and 120,000 km, depending on use, footwear, and climate.

Can I fit alloy or universal pedal covers?

Only if they’re designed for the Outlander and retain securely without reducing grip or pedal travel. For safety and proper fit, genuine or OEM-quality rubber pads are usually the best bet, and universal covers on the accelerator aren’t recommended.
