Parts for your 2006 Honda Elysion-Pedal pads

2006 Honda Elysion pedal pads — what they do and how to look after them

Pedal pads are absolutely used on the 2006 Honda Elysion. Honda’s Electronic Parts Catalogue (EPC) for the Elysion (RR1–RR4, JDM, mid‑2000s) lists a replaceable rubber “Pad, Brake Pedal” and a rubber pad for the foot‑operated parking brake pedal. The accelerator is a one‑piece plastic/metal assembly with an integral tread, not a separate rubber pad. Honda service manual procedures for this platform also call for inspecting pedal pad condition as part of routine maintenance, noting wear, hardening and slip risk.

On a 2006 Elysion, the brake and foot parking brake pedal pads provide grippy, compliant surfaces so shoes don’t slip, especially when it’s wet or your soles are muddy from a weekend away. Over time, those rubber pads harden, glaze, crack or wear smooth, which reduces traction and feel. That’s why regular checks and timely replacement matter for safety, roadworthy/WOF compliance, and just plain driving confidence.

As part of normal servicing (say every 10,000–15,000 km or annually), a tech should:

• Inspect pad surface for smoothing, cracking, hard spots, or edges peeling back.
• Press the pad to feel for resilience, rock‑hard rubber is due for replacement.
• Clean with mild soap and water, avoid silicone dressings that make it slippery.

Replacement is straightforward and inexpensive. For the brake pedal: slip the old pad off the metal pedal plate (start at a corner), clean the backing plate, then work the new pad on, ensuring the lip seats fully all around. For the foot parking brake: same idea—remove, clean, and fit the new pad squarely so it doesn’t twist underfoot. No special tools are typically needed—just a trim tool or small flat blade to lift the old pad’s edge. Always verify the pad profile matches the Elysion’s pedal plate, generic pads can feel loose or sit proud.

Signs it’s time to change include a shiny/glazed surface, visible cracks, missing chunks, or if your shoe can slide across the pedal with light pressure. In Australia and New Zealand, worn or missing non‑slip pedal surfaces can attract a defect/RWC or WOF fail, so keeping them tidy is more than just good housekeeping.

After fitting, road‑test in a safe area to confirm solid grip and normal pedal feel. If the accelerator tread is worn or damaged (it’s not a separate pad), replace the accelerator pedal assembly rather than trying to glue on a universal cover.

Does the 2006 Honda Elysion have replaceable pedal pads?

Yes. The brake pedal and the foot‑operated parking brake both use replaceable rubber pads as shown in Honda’s EPC for the Elysion RR‑series. The accelerator pedal does not use a separate rubber pad, it’s an integral tread on the pedal assembly.

How often should pedal pads be replaced?

They’re inspected at regular services and replaced on condition. If the rubber’s shiny, hard, cracked, or the grip’s gone—swap them out. Many owners see 5–10 years from a pad, but climate, footwear and use (urban stop‑start vs. highway) make a big difference.

Can aftermarket alloy or decorative pads be used?

You can, but only if they retain equal or better traction and don’t foul the pedal or floor mat. In AU/NZ, anything that reduces grip or interferes with pedal travel can risk a RWC/WOF issue. Quality OEM‑style rubber pads are the safest bet for everyday use.
