Parts for your 2022 Suzuki Splash-Pedal pads

2022 Suzuki Splash Pedal Pads

Based on manufacturer documentation and standards, pedal pads are relevant and used on the Suzuki Splash. Suzuki’s Electronic Parts Catalogue (EPC) for the Splash/Opel Agila platform lists a rubber brake pedal pad (and a clutch pedal pad on manual variants), while the Suzuki Splash/Ritz Workshop Manual includes inspection and replacement procedures for pedal rubber wear. Regulatory requirements such as ADR 31/03 and UNECE R13-H also call for an anti-slip brake pedal surface, which manufacturers commonly meet with rubber pedal pads. Even though the Splash ceased production earlier, vehicles on the road in 2022 still use these pads.

On a 2022-registered Suzuki Splash, the pedal pads do a simple but vital job: they provide a grippy, anti-slip interface for the driver’s foot, so brake and clutch inputs stay consistent in wet boots, sandy jandals, or after a muddy bushwalk. Automatics will have a brake pedal pad, manuals have brake and clutch pads. The accelerator generally uses a hard moulded surface and is not usually a replaceable rubber pad.

Over time, the rubber hardens, polishes smooth, cracks, or even tears at the corners. That’s when braking feel can go a bit sketchy—especially if there’s water or grit in the footwell. As part of routine servicing, it’s smart to eyeball the pedal pads for glossiness, thinning, splits, or edges curling up. If the raised texture is mostly gone or the pad feels slippery, it’s time to replace.

Replacement is a quick win: the pad slips over the metal pedal plate and locates on its lip. No fancy tools, just clean hands and a wipe-down of the bare pedal to remove grit. Go genuine or a reputable aftermarket match so the fit isn’t loose. Steer clear of universal dress-up covers that clamp oddly or foul adjacent trim—anything that moves underfoot is a no-go.

Workshop tip: don’t use silicone shine or oily cleaners on pedal pads—ever. A damp cloth and mild soap is all they need. If the cabin sees a lot of beach sand or farm mud, check the pads at every service (10,000–15,000 km). City cars can stretch checks to every second service, but replace at the first sign of slipperiness. For manual Splashes, change the clutch and brake pads together so the pedal feel stays consistent. It’s inexpensive, takes minutes, and pays off massively in safety when you need a firm, confident stomp.

• Signs to replace: smooth/glossy surface, cracks/tears, edges lifting, slippery feel when wet.
• Best practice: use model-specific pads, clean with mild soap, avoid dressings or oils.
• Service cadence: inspect each service, replace as needed—don’t wait for failure.

FAQs

How can someone tell their Splash’s pedal pads are worn?
Look for a shiny, smooth face where the texture used to be, small splits at the corners, or the pad lifting off the metal plate. If a wet sole slides on the brake pedal, that’s a clear cue to replace. A new pad feels tacky and textured underfoot, restoring predictable pedal feel.

Do automatic Splash models need pedal pad replacements too?
Yes. Automatics have a single brake pedal pad that wears just like a manual’s. If it’s polished or hard, swap it out. The accelerator is usually a fixed plastic face and isn’t treated as a replaceable rubber pad.

Are universal pedal covers okay on a Splash?
It’s safer to use a Splash-specific pad. Universal clamp-on covers can shift, foul nearby trim, or reduce clearance, which isn’t ideal for safety or WOF/roadworthy checks. A proper-fit rubber pad grips better and stays put.
