Parts for your 2005 Toyota Ractis-Pedal pads

2005 Toyota Ractis pedal pads — what they do and how to look after them

Based on technical references like the Toyota Electronic Parts Catalogue (EPC) for the 2005 Ractis NCP100/NCP105, the Toyota Repair Manual (TIS), and mainstream Toyota parts listings used by dealers, this model is fitted with pedal pads. Specifically, it has a rubber brake pedal pad on all grades, and a rubber clutch pedal pad on manual-transmission variants. The accelerator is typically a moulded treaded pedal without a removable rubber pad.

On a 2005 Toyota Ractis, pedal pads exist for a simple but critical reason: grip. That slightly soft rubber face on the brake (and clutch, if manual) boosts traction underfoot, helping the driver keep steady control in the wet and during emergency stops. Over time, heat, UV, dirt, and everyday foot traffic harden and glaze the rubber, which can make it slippery and thin.

As part of regular servicing, it’s smart to inspect pedal pads every 10,000–15,000 km or at each service visit. Look for cracking, smooth shiny patches, edges curling away from the metal pedal, or the pad feeling hard like plastic. Any of these are cues to replace. On a manual Ractis, also check the clutch pad for uneven wear from frequent city driving.

• Replace immediately if the pad is cracked, glossy, or slipping on the metal pedal.
• Clean lightly with mild soapy water
