Parts for your 2017 Suzuki Splash-Pedal pads

2017 Suzuki Splash pedal pads — purpose, service and replacement

Per Suzuki technical sources — namely the Suzuki Electronic Parts Catalogue and the Splash/Agila platform workshop manual — the 2017 Suzuki Splash is fitted with replaceable rubber pedal pads on the brake pedal, and on the clutch pedal for manual variants. The accelerator is an integrated pedal assembly without a separate rubber pad. So, pedal-pads are relevant to this model.

On the Splash, pedal pads do a simple but vital job: they give the driver sure-footed grip on the brake (and clutch) in all weather, soak up a bit of vibration, and act as a sacrificial wear surface so the metal pedal arm doesn’t get polished smooth. In Aussie and Kiwi conditions — think wet boots, beach sand, or red dust — the pads earn their keep by reducing slip risk, especially during sudden stops.

As part of routine servicing, it’s smart for owners to have the pads checked every service interval (roughly every 10,000–15,000 kilometres) or any time the pedals feel slick. A good clean with mild soap and water keeps the rubber grippy. Avoid silicone or petroleum-based dressings, they can harden rubber or make it slippery. Also make sure floor mats can’t ride up under the pedal faces — that’s a common cause of poor pedal feel.

Replacement is straightforward and inexpensive. If a pad is smooth, cracked, glazed, hard, curled at the edges, or loose, it should be swapped immediately. The new pad simply stretches over the pedal face, a touch of warm water can help it seat, but don’t use grease. Confirm the pad is fully hooked around the metal plate on all sides. For automatics, you’ll replace the brake pad only, for manuals, both brake and clutch. The accelerator has no removable pad — if it’s damaged, the whole pedal module is replaced.

Genuine Suzuki pads ensure the correct fit and rubber compound, while quality aftermarket options can be fine if matched to the Splash by VIN. Roadworthy and WOF inspectors expect pedals to be secure and non-slip, so a worn pad can be a fail item. Given the low cost and safety upside, most workshops will recommend proactive replacement rather than trying to eke out a few more months.

• Replace pedal pads if you notice: smooth or shiny surfaces, cracks/hardening, edges lifting, or foot slip in the wet.
• Inspect at each service, clean with mild soap, never dress with silicone.

FAQs

Does the 2017 Suzuki Splash have a pedal pad on the accelerator?
The Splash’s accelerator is an integrated plastic/metal pedal assembly without a separate rubber pad. If it’s worn or damaged, the complete pedal module is replaced rather than fitting a pad.

How often should Splash pedal pads be replaced?
There’s no fixed interval. Inspect at every service and replace at the first sign of hardening, cracking, or loss of grip. Many owners see 3–7 years from a pad, but wet-weather driving and gritty footwear can shorten that.

Are manual and automatic Splash pedal pads the same?
The brake pedal pad is similar across transmissions when matched by model and year, but manual cars also have a clutch pad. Always confirm by VIN to ensure the correct fit.
