Hit a deer. now car won't shift

Nice way to start evening out - hit a deer. Not much damage - grill, headlight crushed but now all dash warning lights will not go out and the car will not shift out of 1st gear.

is some there mechanical damage or do I need to reset the system?

ok to email me with any ideas: rdavis1957@gmail.com

Deer limped away.

After reading the manual, I am stuck in Emergency Operation/Limp Home Mode.

Is there anyway to reset this on my own?

Thanks.

at the deer, shoulda hit harder though so you put her in the trunk and make some dinner
well restarting the car should have cleared the limp mode, unless there's something more serious i think
have you checked underneath the car for any damage?
who knows maybe it's just some sensor
first thing i'd do is read the codes, if you don't have a scanner, then i hear autozone is the way to go before you attempt the dealer
