2011 Holden Captiva 5 Pedal Pads
Based on the Holden/GM Global Electronic Parts Catalogue (EPC) for the CG Captiva platform and the 2011 CG Captiva service manual, the 2011 Holden Captiva 5 is fitted with pedal pads. The brake pedal uses a removable rubber pad on both auto and manual models, and manual variants also have a rubber pad on the clutch pedal. The accelerator pedal face is typically an integral, textured plastic surface that’s part of the pedal assembly rather than a separate rubber pad.
On a Captiva 5, pedal pads do a simple but vital job: they provide a grippy, non-slip surface so the driver’s foot doesn’t skate off the pedal, especially when it’s wet, muddy, or the driver’s wearing work boots. That’s not just about comfort, it’s a safety layer that supports confident, consistent braking and clutch control. Australian and New Zealand design and roadworthy standards expect pedals to be slip-resistant, which is exactly what these rubber pads deliver.
As part of regular servicing, it’s smart to give the pedal pads a look and a quick clean. They’re wear items, so over time the rubber can harden, crack, or go smooth and shiny. When that happens, grip drops away and the pad should be replaced. Replacement is inexpensive and quick.
- What to look for: smoothing or glazing of the rubber, edge cracking, hard/brittle feel, or a pad that’s loose on the metal pedal plate.
- Cleaning tip: wipe down with mild soapy water and a soft brush, avoid petroleum-based cleaners that can dry and crack the rubber.
- Inspection interval: check every service (around 10,000–15,000 km), or sooner if the vehicle sees lots of wet, sandy, or muddy conditions.
Replacing a worn pad is straightforward on the Captiva 5:
- Peel the old pad off the pedal plate, starting at a corner.
- Clean the bare pedal plate so there’s no grit or residue.
- Warm the new pad slightly (room temp is fine) and stretch it over the pedal, ensuring the lip seats fully around the metal plate.
- Press all edges to confirm it’s locked on and won’t slip.
Auto models: you’ll typically replace the brake pedal pad only. Manual models: replace both brake and clutch pads as a pair if wear is similar, so pedal feel stays consistent. If the accelerator surface is damaged, it’s usually a full pedal assembly replacement rather than a separate pad.
How often should the pedal pads be replaced on a 2011 Captiva 5?
There’s no fixed kilometre interval, it depends on use. Inspect at every service and replace when the pad is smooth, cracked, hard, or loose. Many drivers see 5–10 years from a brake pad in normal use, but frequent wet or dirty conditions, or heavy work boots, can shorten that.
Are the brake and clutch pedal pads the same on a Captiva 5?
They’re separate parts and can differ in size, the brake pad is typically wider. Manual models have both brake and clutch pads, while autos only have the brake pedal pad. The accelerator isn’t a removable rubber pad, it’s an integrated plastic face.
Can aftermarket alloy pedal covers be used?
They can, but they must be secure, not restrict pedal travel, and offer slip-resistant surfaces. Poorly fitted covers can be a safety and roadworthy issue. For hassle-free compliance and feel, many owners stick with genuine-style rubber pads.
