Parts for your 2017 Volvo Xc60-Pedal pads

2017 Volvo XC60 Pedal Pads

Based on Volvo VIDA (workshop information for MY2017) and the Volvo Genuine Parts Catalogue, pedal pads are indeed used on the 2017 Volvo XC60. The model has a replaceable rubber brake pedal pad (cover), and manual variants also have a clutch pedal pad. The accelerator is an electronic drive-by-wire unit with an integral surface, so it typically doesn’t use a separate rubber pad.

On the 2017 XC60, the pedal pads serve a simple but critical purpose: grip and comfort. The brake (and clutch, if fitted) pad is a shaped rubber cover that provides a non-slip surface so the driver can confidently apply precise pedal pressure, even in the wet. Over time, that rubber can harden, glaze, crack, or wear smooth, which reduces traction underfoot—exactly when reliable braking feel matters most. Volvo’s service literature flags keeping pedals clean and unobstructed, the parts catalogue confirms the brake pedal cover is a distinct, replaceable item.

As part of regular servicing, it’s smart to inspect the brake pedal pad for:

• Surface glazing or a “shiny” look that feels slippery
• Cracks, splits, missing corners, or hardening
• Pad that’s loose, mis-seated, or moving on the metal pedal

If any of the above shows up, replace it. It’s a quick, low-cost job: the worn pad peels off and the new one presses on. Warming the new pad slightly (sunlight or room-temp water) can make it more pliable for fitting. Always confirm you’ve got the correct pad for auto vs manual, and press evenly so the lip fully captures the pedal plate. After installation, test for firm seating and dry, grippy feel with clean-soled shoes.

Owners should avoid silicone or oily dressings on or near the pedals—these can make the pad slick. Clean with mild soap and water only. For R-Design or accessory stainless trims, there’s still a rubber interface underneath, ensure that assembly stays tight and the rubber isn’t perished. The accelerator pedal face is part of the pedal module, if it’s damaged, the fix is usually pedal assembly replacement rather than a pad swap.

Practical rule of thumb for Aussie and Kiwi conditions: have the brake pedal pad checked at every service or around 20,000 km, and replace at the first sign of slipperiness or cracking.

Popular questions about 2017 Volvo XC60 pedal pads

Does the 2017 Volvo XC60 use separate pedal pads?
Yes—there’s a replaceable rubber brake pedal pad on all models, and a clutch pedal pad on manuals. The accelerator is an integrated electronic pedal and doesn’t usually have a separate pad.

How often should the brake pedal pad be replaced?
There’s no fixed interval, replace when wear is evident—glazing, cracking, hardening, or loss of grip. In local AU/NZ use, a quick check every service (or about every 20,000 km) keeps things safe and compliant.

Are R-Design stainless pedal covers compatible?
Yes, R-Design or accessory stainless-style covers are compatible for the 2017 XC60. They fit over the underlying rubber. Make sure the assembly is seated firmly and that the rubber beneath isn’t worn or perished.
