Parts for your 2020 Mitsubishi Eclipse cross-Pedal pads

2020 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross pedal-pads

Pedal-pads are relevant on the 2020 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross. Mitsubishi Motors’ service literature for the GK-series Eclipse Cross (MY2020) and the Mitsubishi ASA electronic parts catalogue identify a replaceable rubber pad on the brake pedal. The accelerator uses an integrated treaded face (no separate pad), and in markets with a manual transmission a clutch pedal pad is also listed. That means owners will likely deal with the brake pedal pad as the main service item.

On this model, the brake pedal pad’s job is simple but important: provide grippy, comfortable, non-slip contact so the driver’s foot won’t slide—even when it’s wet from a downpour or sandy after a beach run. The pad’s rubber compound and ribbed pattern are designed to maintain traction and feel, supporting consistent braking control and helping meet safety expectations. Mitsubishi’s service information for the Eclipse Cross brake pedal assembly also outlines inspection and replacement of the pad when it’s worn, hardened or damaged.

As part of regular servicing, it’s smart to check the brake pedal pad every 10,000–15,000 km (or each scheduled service). Keep the surface clean with mild detergent and water—avoid silicone dressings or heavy cleaners that can make it slippery. After snow trips, beach outings, or muddy weekends, a quick rinse and dry helps the rubber last longer.

Replace the pad if any of the following show up:

• The tread is smooth or shiny and your shoe slips more easily.
• Cracks, hardening, or curling edges are visible.
• The pad no longer sits evenly on the pedal plate.

Swapping the pad is a straightforward DIY: with the engine off, pull the old pad off the metal pedal plate, clean the plate, then warm the new pad slightly (room temp or a brief sit in warm water), and work the lip over the pedal from one side to the other until it’s fully seated. Check your floor mats are clipped down and clear of the pedal, then sit in the driver’s seat and make sure the pedal feels secure with solid grip underfoot.

Using a genuine or OEM-spec pad is recommended so the rubber compound, fit and rib pattern match Mitsubishi’s design. If the vehicle is an overseas manual variant, apply the same checks to the clutch pedal pad. Technical references: Mitsubishi Motors Service Manual (Chassis/Brake – Brake Pedal), Mitsubishi ASA Electronic Parts Catalogue (GK Eclipse Cross – Group: Brake Pedal – Pad, Brake Pedal), and Owner’s Manual guidance about keeping pedals clean and free of contaminants.

Does the 2020 Eclipse Cross accelerator have a separate pedal pad?

No. The accelerator uses an integrated treaded pedal face without a removable rubber pad. The replaceable pad is on the brake pedal. Manual-gearbox models in some markets also have a clutch pedal pad, but Australian and New Zealand models are typically CVT-only.

How often should the brake pedal pad be replaced?

There’s no fixed kilometre limit. Inspect it at every service and replace it as soon as the surface turns smooth or glossy, the edges curl, or cracks appear. In normal use this can be anywhere from three to seven years, sooner with heavy city driving or lots of wet, sandy conditions.

Is replacing the brake pedal pad a DIY job?

Yes. It’s a quick slip-on part with no special tools. Remove the old pad, clean the metal pedal plate, warm the new pad, and stretch it on evenly so the lip locks all round. Before driving, make sure mats are secured and verify the pedal feels grippy and secure underfoot.
