'Check Engine' light has appeared...

on my 2000 Aero wagon on my way home last night. The turbo power dropped to about half boost and I suspect it's gone into 'limp home' mode. There were no other warning lights and I only had a 5 minute drive home so I 'limped home'.
I am obviously reluctant to even fire up the engine now until I know what's wrong. But my dealer has advised I drive the car over to them (10 miles) so they can check it out.
Is it really safe to drive it? Or should I have it towed? I don't really understand what the 'check engine' light infers -- no other warning lights are displayed and, other than low power, there are no other symptoms that would indicate any specific fault. What should I do?
