The Rocket Fire is a function that when activated, allows KITT to fire a small rocket out of his tailpipe. Michael Knight used the Rocket fire to cause boulders to collapse in order to stop a flooding river.
("Not a Drop To Drink")
Michael can also use Rocket Fire to launch Ultra-magnesium Charges. The Charges were used so KITT could evade the missiles of a helicopter.
("Merchants of Death")

Launghing the Ultra-magnesium Charges
In "Give Me Liberty..." Michael hit Rocket Fire to leap over a racing car. This lead some fans to believe Rocket Fire could be used a substitute for Turbo Boost, but it was obviously a mistake made in the editing room.
