As far as I know you can drive it in for repair when the check engine light is

flashing indicating an engine cylinder misfire . Just avoid any heavy /

converter ( P.S. I'm not a mechanic / technician )

I haven't gone out to my car to check, but from Google Images it looks like there is a little button right beneath the switch that allows you to move the gear shift park to drive.
