2022 Kawasaki CONCOURS 14ABS KIPASS (Kawasaki’s Intelligent Proximity Activation Start System)
(Kawasaki’s Intelligent Proximity Activation Start System)
This motorcycle has the KIPASS which can start the engine and lock the steering without taking out the ignition key by only carrying the FOB (portable key). This system contains the FOB KIPASS ECU, Key Knob.
NOTE
- When the battery is discharged or taken off from the motorcycle, the system cannot lock or unlock the steering lock.
Starting the engine
- This system can start the engine by the user ID certification (mutual certification between the motorcycle and
- FOB is performed by radio wave, and certifies if the FOB is properly coded for the motorcycle).
WARNING
SKI PASS may interfere with the operation of certain medical devices such as implanted pacemakers and implanted cardiac defibrillators. The FOB or KIPASS ECU must be kept more than 22 cm (9 in.) from these types of medical devices to avoid interference. Do not carry the FOB in your breast pocket. Operators with medical devices such as pacemakers and implanted cardiac defibrillators should consult with their doctors before use.
(FOB (Portable Key)
The FOB of this motorcycle has the emergency ignition key (mechanical key). should be inserted into the FOB. When The emergency ignition key knob is lost, etc, the ignition key can be used as the emergency Key. Up to six FOBs can be registered with the KIPASS at one time.

- When parking the motorcycle across the glass window, or house wall, the location may be within the possible area of the radio wave.
- The rider should possess the FOB while riding, do not leave the FOB in the saddlebag, or storage case, etc, for antitheft, and make sure to check that there is the FOB before stopping the engine.
- FOB transmits and receives the radio wave, so the battery in the FOB discharges. The normal battery life is for about 1 year depending on the Situation of the use. If the FOB IS close to the manufacturer developing the strong radio wave (TV, Personal Computer), the battery life may dis-charge earlier. The FOB is communicated when the steering is unlocked, turned to “ON,” and the motorcycle is moved off.
- If the battery of the FOB is discharged, the key knob cannot be operated. Remove the emergency ignition key from FOB and fit the hollow of the FOB on the projection of the ignition switch, the key knob can be operated after about 2 seconds passed when the key knob is pushed.
- When possessing several Registered FOBs, the engine can be started if anyone’s FOB is correctly certified. If the communication is failed, move one of the FOBs to another location.
- Even if the FOB is within the possible area of the radio wave starting the engine, the FOB may not be correctly certified. Move the motorcycle or the FOB to another place.
