2002 Daihatsu Gran Move Pedal Pads — What They Do and When to Replace Them

Technical references, including the Daihatsu Pyzar/Gran Move G3-series workshop manual (1996–2002) and the Daihatsu electronic parts catalogue, show the 2002 Gran Move is fitted with rubber pedal pads on the brake pedal, and on the clutch pedal for manual models. Automatic models have just the brake pad. The accelerator is typically a hard plastic tread and not a replaceable rubber pad.

On the 2002 Daihatsu Gran Move, pedal pads earn their keep by giving the driver reliable, non-slip grip on the brake (and clutch if manual), especially in the wet. They also damp a bit of vibration and protect the metal pedal face from wear. It’s a small, inexpensive part that makes a big difference to feel and safety behind the wheel.

As part of routine servicing, it’s worth giving the pedal pads a quick once-over. A wipe with mild soapy water keeps the ribs clean so shoes can bite properly, avoid silicone sprays or greasy cleaners that leave the surface slippery. If the pad has gone hard, shiny, cracked, or loose, it’s time to swap it out. Most roadworthy checks in AU and NZ expect a secure, non-slip pedal surface, so staying on top of this is a smart move.

• Visible cracks, splits or missing chunks
• Glazed, hard or shiny surface that feels slippery
• Edges curling or the pad not sitting fully on the pedal
• Foot slipping in wet conditions
• Ribs worn smooth or uneven

Replacement is a quick DIY job. Pry off the old pad by lifting the lip from the metal pedal face. Warming the new pad in hot water for a minute makes it more pliable. Hook the top edge first, then stretch the lip evenly around until it seats all the way. Check the lip is fully engaged so it won’t walk off in use. Budget 5–10 minutes per pedal.

For automatics, you’ll be doing just the brake pad, for manuals, replace brake and clutch together for consistent feel. Choose an OEM-spec pad or a quality aftermarket part that matches the Gran Move/Pyzar pedal shape and right-hand-drive orientation. If in doubt, match by VIN or compare the pad profile to the original. It’s a cheap fix that keeps the Gran Move feeling safe and confidence-inspiring on daily runs.

Does the accelerator pedal have a replaceable pad on a 2002 Gran Move?

No. The accelerator is usually a hard plastic or metal-faced pedal without a removable rubber pad. Only the brake (and clutch on manuals) use replaceable rubber pedal pads.

How often should pedal pads be replaced?

There’s no strict interval. Inspect at each service or around every 10,000 km. Replace at the first sign of cracking, glazing, looseness, or if your foot slips when wet. High-mileage city cars may need pads sooner.

Are manual and automatic pedal pads the same?

The brake pad is typically the same style across transmissions, but manuals add a clutch pad. Always match the shape to your specific Gran Move and confirm right-hand-drive fitment.
