The Surveillance Mode function allowed KITT to do several things:

  • KITT could detect people and vehicles and track their movements and discern proximity.
  • KITT could gather structural schematics of buildings, vehicles, or other devices and help Michael avoid potential danger when he was snooping.
  • KITT could also monitor radio transmissions and telephone communications within a location and trace those calls.
  • KITT could tap into computer systems to monitor, or upload and download information as long as he could break the access codes.
