Message: <blockquote data-quote="sakuraguy" data-source="post: 2032414" data-attributes="member: 6441">Surveillance Mode - Surveillance Mode did several things:o KITT could detect people and vehicles and track their movements and discern proximityo KITT could gather structural schematics of buildings, vehicles, or other devices and help Michael avoid potential danger when he was snooping.o KITT could also monitor radio transmissions and telephone communications within a location and trace those calls.o KITT could tap into computer systems to monitor, or upload and download information as long as he could break the access codes.Infrared Tracking Scope - KITT could monitor the position of specific vehicles in the area within 10 miles. For instance, if Michael wanted to know the location of every police vehicle within 5 miles, KITT could display a schematic on his monitors of all police vehicles relative to his position.Laser Powerpack - KITT can fire a high powered ultra-frequency modulated laser capable of burning through steel plating. Like most of KITT's components, the schematics for the laser device are classified. First used in Episode 24, "Goliath (Pt. 2)".Bomb Sniffer - KITT is equipped with a bomb sniffer module that can detect explosives within a few yards of the vehicle. First used in Episode 25, "Brother's Keeper".Medical scanner - KITT has a medical scanner that includes an electrocardiograph (ECG). The medical scanner can monitor the vital signs of individuals and display them on his monitors. It could indicate such conditions as if they were injured, poisoned, undergoing stress or other emotional behavior. KITT could even monitor Michael's physical activity through sensors inside the driver seat. First used in Episode 1, "Knight of the Phoenix (Pt. 2)".Deflatable Tires - KITT could deflate and reinflate his tires. First used in Episode 4, "Slammin' Sammy's Stunt Show Spectacular".Fuel Processor - KITT was powered by a turbine engine primarily fueled by hydrogen gas. However, his complex fuel processor allows him to run on any combustible liquid, even regular gasoline. KITT's actual fuel requirements and efficiency ratings were classified, however in one episode, KITT mentioned his fuel economy was at least 100 miles per gallon. However, when operating on fuels other than liquid hydrogen, KITT's fuel efficiency and power output may be lowered.Self-Tinting Windows - KITT's windows could darken to opacity for various situations. First used in Episode 14, "Give Me Liberty... or Give Me Death".Voice Stress Analyzer - KITT can process spoken voices and determine if someone may be lying. First used in Episode 26, "Merchants of Death".Auto Doors, Sunroof, and Trunklid - KITT could automatically open and close his doors and T-tops. He could also lock his doors to prevent unauthorized entry into his driver compartment. He could also open his hood automatically.Rotating License Plate - KITT can rotate his KNIGHT license plate to reveal a fictitious one reading "KNI 667". Michael used this to evade police when an APB was placed on him. First used in Episode 25, "Brother's Keeper".Seat Ejection System - KITT had two front ejection seats, mostly used when Michael needed a boost to fire escapes or building roof tops. First used in Episode 1, "Knight of the Phoenix (Pt. 1)".Passive Laser Restraint System - Added to KITT in later seasons, the restraint system helped protect Michael and any passengers from the shock of sudden impacts and hard stopping, especially after Super-Pursuit Mode. It is speculated that this is a primitive form of an inertial dampening device. First used in Episode 47, "Knight of the Drones".Video Display Monitors - KITT had two CRT video display monitors on his dash for various readouts. They are controlled by two systems, the Graphic Translator (which sketches likenesses from verbal input) and the Anamorphic Equalizer (which gathered visual information from KITT's front scan bar) and microscanners. KITT only had one when his dash was redesigned for the show's third season.Computer Print Out - KITT could print hard copies of data on a dashboard-mounted printer. First used in Episode 15, "The Topaz Connection".Ultraphonic Chemical Analyzer - KITT has a retractable tray with an electron scanner that could analyze the chemical properties of various materials. It could even scan fingerprints and read ballistic information off bullets and compare these with a police database. Aside from the scanning tray, the system could also analyze chemical information gathered from KITT's exterior sensors. First used in Episode 17, "Chariot of Gold".http://img181.imageshack.us/img181/1043/interni2qy7.jpgFire Extinguisher - KITT could put out small fires from a CO2 sprayer in his bumpers.Interior Oxygenator - KITT could release oxygen into his driver compartment and provide air to passengers if he was ever submerged in water or buried in earth. This is also used to overcome the effects of certain drugs. First used in Episode 4, "Slammin' Sammy's Stunt Show Spectacular".Two-Wheel Ski Drive - The Ski Mode setting allowed KITT to "ski" (driving up on two wheels). First used in Episode 1, "Knight of the Phoenix".Third Stage Aquatic Synthesizer - With this system, KITT can hydroplane, effectively "driving" on water, using his wheels and turbo system for propulsion. First used in Episode 28, "Return to Cadiz".Sub Zero - KITT could release cryogenic gases and "flash freeze" the driver compartment. This was used once when a baby tiger managed to get inside to gnaw on his steering wheel and KITT wanted him out. First used in Episode 66, "Knight in Retreat".Sleep Gas - KITT could spray a gas into the driver compartment that could render an unwanted occupant unconscious.Vacuum - KITT could expend all breathable air from the driver compartment, however, only KARR ever used it to harm someone. KITT used this to rid the compartment of smoke after bombs were detonated in his trunk.Super-Pursuit Mode - KITT's Super-Pursuit mode was added at the start of the fourth season. It was the result of a redesign of the car to integrate new concepts consisting of improved rocket boosters, retractable spoilers for aerodynamic stability, and movable air inlets for increased cooling. Super-Pursuit Mode provided a 40% boost in speed beyond the car's original top speed of 300 MPH. First used in Episode 70, "Knight of the Juggernaut".Emergency Braking System - The EBS slowed KITT down from Super-Pursuit speeds. It consisted of a forward breaking booster and air panels that popped out to create air friction. First used in Episode 70, "Knight of the Juggernaut".Convertible Roof - Added fourth season, by pressing the "C" button on KITT's dash, Michael could bring the top down and KITT became a convertible. First used in Episode #70, "Knight of the Juggernaut".Total production cost: $11,400,000 estimated in 1982 (this was KITT's total construction cost as he was first built in 1982. The cost of subsequent equipment improvements and the installation of additional features since his activation have not been factored).Other equipmentComlink - KITT is in constant contact with Michael via a two-way Casio communication wristwatch Michael wore. The watch also had a micro camera and scanner that KITT could access to gather information.Homing Device - In dire emergency, Michael can activate a secret homing beacon hidden inside a gold pendant he wears around his neck. The beacon sends a priority signal that can remotely activate KITT and override his programming so that he rushes to Michael's aid. Only used in Episode 42, "A Good Knight's Work".F.L.A.G. Mobile Unit (The Semi) - KITT has access to a mobile "garage", sometimes referred outside the show as "The Rook", which was a semi-trailer truck owned by the Foundation. The mobile unit usually roamed somewhere near Michael's location. The trailer has an extendible ramp that dropped down and allows KITT to drive inside even when the truck is in motion. The trailer was loaded with spare parts and equipment for KITT. It also had a computer lab where technicians Bonnie or April would work and conduct repairs and maintenance. At the front of the trailer is a small office area. During early episodes, the trailer was plain white. In later episodes, of the first season and beyond, it was painted black with a gold stripe and a gold Knight chess piece emblem. The laboratory area was redesigned in the second season with more a pseudo lounge appearance. The truck cab itself was always black, though gold pinstriping was added when the trailer's exteror was changed to black and gold, and three different trucks served as the tractor itself. The first had no sleeper compartment, and the latter two did, as well as other visual differences. Other than coloring, a common factor between all three versions of the Semi was that it had a single-stack exhaust, with the stack on the right side. All were GMC General tractor trailers. The first was a 1980 General with no sleeper compartment. The second and third were both 1984 Generals with a sleeper, although the shape of the sleeper differed between the two, with the third being more aerodynamic.Trivia* When asked about KITT's whereabouts, David Hasselhoff indicates that, like Roy Rogers did to Trigger, KITT is now stuffed and mounted in Hasselhoff's living room. In actual fact, the car used became Hasselhoff's personal property at the end of production and was sold into a private collection in 1992.[citation needed] The original KITT can be seen at the Cars of the Stars Motor Museum in Keswick, Cumbria, England.[1]* KITT was designed by customizer Michael Scheffe. The convertible and super-pursuit KITTs were designed and built by George Barris.* Hasselhoff and "KITT" appeared in an episode of Diff'rent Strokes, but Daniels did not provide the voice.* KITT accompanied David Hasselhoff when he performed onstage, singing one of his songs at Disneyland back in 1985, with various Disney characters behind him as his band.* KITT appeared in a AT&T television commercial with other robotic entertainment stars as Robby the Robot, WOPR, and Rosie the Robot Maid.* KITT's Anamorphic Equalizer scanner is similar to that of Cylons from the science fiction series Battlestar Galactica. Glen A. Larson was the creator of both Knight Rider and Battlestar Galactica. He has stated that the two shows have nothing (else) in common. To remove any fan speculation, he stated that he simply reused the scanning light for KITT because he liked the effect.[citation needed]* KITT was reunited with David Hasselhoff in an episode of the variety show/talent show America's Got Talent, on which Hasselhoff was a judge. A performer brought a replica of KITT onto center stage as scenery during her burlesque act. The following evening, Hasselhoff incorporated the KITT replica into his musical performance on stage.* In an episode of the cartoon Totally Spies, the team of Sam, Alex and Clover were given a green car named KIRTT that could move at extremely high speeds, virtually drive itself, and transform into any wheeled vehicle.* David Hasselhoff drives around in KITT in his music video for "Jump in My Car". However, in the video, KITT is set up for a right-side-driver. [2]* According to an appearance on MTV Cribs, Joey Fatone owns one of the actual KITT cars used on the series.* In the feature film The Benchwarmers, Jon Lovitz's character Mel owns a KITT replica.* C.A.R.R. (not to be confused with KARR) from the animated series Stroker and Hoop is a parody of KITT.* In the Futurama episode "The Honking", the werecar Project Satan is said to be made of the parts of the most evil cars in the world, including KITT's windshield wipers.Whereelse? ..
