Parts for your 2009 Suzuki Splash-Pedal pads

2009 Suzuki Splash pedal-pads: what they are, why they matter, and how to look after them

Referencing technical sources, pedal-pads are indeed used on the 2009 Suzuki Splash. The Suzuki Electronic Parts Catalogue (EPC) for the Splash (2008–2014) lists dedicated rubber “pad, brake pedal” components, and manual-transmission variants also list a clutch pedal pad. Additionally, inspection guidance used in Australia and New Zealand (e.g., WOF/VIRMs and ADR-aligned checks) specifically call out the need for non-slip brake and clutch pedal surfaces, reinforcing that these pads are a standard, safety-relevant wear item on this model.

On a 2009 Suzuki Splash, pedal-pads (often called pedal rubbers) do a simple but vital job: they add grip and a bit of cushioning to the metal brake and clutch pedal faces. That grippy surface helps the driver keep solid, consistent pedal control in the wet, after a beach trip, or just hopping in with damp soles. On automatic Splash models there’s a brake pedal pad, on manuals there’s one on the brake and one on the clutch. The accelerator is typically a moulded plastic pedal with a textured face rather than a slip-on rubber pad.

As part of routine servicing, it’s smart to inspect these pads. Rubber hardens and wears smooth with kilometres, and can crack or even start to peel at the edges. Any loss of texture means less shoe-to-pedal bite, which can translate to longer stopping distances or a disconcerting slip when braking hard. Replacement is inexpensive and quick—usually a simple removal of the old pad and a firm push-fit of a new OEM-quality pad over the pedal plate. Matching the pad to the exact VIN or transmission type avoids sloppy fitment.

• When to replace: if the surface is shiny or smooth, edges are torn, rubber is hardened, or shoes slip—especially when wet.
• Good practice: clean muddy or sandy pedals during washes, check pad condition at each service or WOF/reg inspection, and avoid universal covers that don’t fit snugly.

DIYers can handle the swap with the car parked safely and the ignition off. Warm the new pad slightly (sunlight or a warm room) to make it more pliable, then hook the bottom, roll it over the pedal plate, and ensure every lip is seated. Workshops will often bundle this with a brake inspection—handy timing, since both jobs speak directly to stopping safety. For the Splash, sticking with genuine or high-quality aftermarket pads keeps the feel right underfoot and maintains compliance with local inspection standards.

FAQs

Does a 2009 Suzuki Splash automatic have an accelerator pedal pad?
On most Splash automatics, the accelerator is a one-piece moulded pedal with a textured plastic face, not a separate slip-on rubber pad. The brake pedal does have a replaceable rubber pad, and there’s no clutch pedal on the auto.

How often should pedal-pads be replaced on a Splash?
There’s no fixed kilometre interval. Replace them whenever they’re worn smooth, cracked, or slippery—often somewhere between regular services if the vehicle sees lots of city stop-start or wet conditions. Many owners time replacement alongside a brake service or inspection.

Are alloy or dress-up pedal covers legal in Australia and New Zealand?
They can be, provided they’re secure, non-slip, and don’t interfere with pedal travel or adjacent trims. Sharp edges or loose fitment can fail inspections. For safety and compliance, OEM-style pads are the safest bet for the Splash’s brake and clutch.
