2006 Holden Captiva 5 Pedal Pads — Purpose, Care, and When to Replace

Pedal pads are absolutely fitted and relevant on the 2006 Holden Captiva 5. The Holden/GM Electronic Parts Catalogue (EPC) for Captiva CG (2006-on) lists serviceable rubber pads for the brake pedal (auto and manual) and an additional pad for the clutch pedal on manual variants. The Captiva CG workshop/service manual brake and clutch pedal sections also specify the pads as replaceable wear items. The accelerator on most models is a moulded drive-by-wire pedal and typically doesn’t use a separate rubber pad.

On this Captiva, the pedal pads are the grippy rubber covers that cap the metal pedal arms. They’re there for secure footing, especially in the wet, and to keep the feel consistent underfoot. Over time they harden, glaze, crack, or the edges roll back, which can lead to a slippery pedal and longer stopping distances if a foot slips at the wrong moment. Fresh pads bring back that confident bite and are a quick, low-cost safety win.

Servicing-wise, it’s sensible to check pedal pad condition at every service or at least every 10,000–15,000 km. Owners who hop in and out in muddy boots or drive in wet conditions should keep an even closer eye on them. Manual Captiva 5 owners should replace clutch and brake pedal pads as a pair if both show similar wear, so the feel remains even.

• Replace pedal pads if they look shiny or hard, have visible cracks, are thinning (less defined tread), or the lip won’t stay seated on the pedal plate.
• A quick clean with mild soap and water restores grip
