This was actually the first episode to be produced after the Pilot (as evidenced by the production codes). As this was Patricia McPherson's first filmed episode as Bonnie, her shots on the opening credits are taken from this story; all of the other episode-specific shots on the first season opening credits are from the Pilot.
K.I.T.T. is first outfitted with his Microwave Jammer (Micro Jam for short).
In one scene, Michael is sitting in KITT while in the semi and looks at Bonnie through the windshield. He wonders aloud "I wonder if there's a real woman under those overalls or just a robot?" KITT's scanners begin working and he responds" Under the overall she is 1.68 meters tall, 54 kilos in weight, other measurements are 97cm, 61cm" and then Michael tells him to shut up. Thus we know that Bonnie (and actress Patricia McPherson) is 5'6 with a bust of 38in and a 24 inch waist.
Bill Cross, whom appears as Officer Lester in this episode, later appeared in the season 3 episode Knight Rider: Lost Knight (1984) as Conrad Morris.
