2013 Holden Captiva 7 Pedal Pads — Fitment, Purpose, and Service Tips

Pedal pads are relevant and used on the 2013 Holden Captiva 7 (CG Series II). Technical references from GM Service Information (Holden SI) and the GM Global Electronic Parts Catalogue for MY13 Captiva show the brake pedal fitted with a removable rubber pedal pad as a service item. On manual-transmission variants, the clutch pedal also uses a separate rubber pad. The accelerator is an electronic pedal module and does not use a removable pad. These sources illustrate the brake/clutch pedal pads as distinct components, intended for routine replacement when worn.

On a 2013 Captiva 7, the pedal pads do a deceptively simple but crucial job: they give the driver sure-footed grip on the brake (and clutch, if manual) in all weather. The moulded rubber face adds friction, sheds water, and reduces the chance of a boot slipping during hard stops or quick gear changes. Over time, heat, UV, sand, and day‑to‑day use smooth the surface or crack the rubber, which is why they’re designed to be swapped out quickly.

Signs it’s time to replace include a shiny, slippery surface, visible cracks, missing edges, or the pad coming loose from the pedal plate. In Aussie and Kiwi conditions—coastline salt, farm mud, alpine slush—pads can age faster, so regular checks are smart. Most workshops will glance at them each service, but owners can do a quick look every few months too.

Replacement is straightforward: the old pad pulls off the pedal plate and a new one stretches over the metal face. No special tools, just firm hands. Choosing a genuine-spec or quality aftermarket pad keeps the fit snug so it won’t twist underfoot. Avoid dressings like silicone or tyre shine on the pad
