How does the Smart Entry / Smart Start system work?

Smart Entry and Smart Start allow you to unlock the doors and start the car without having to take they key fob out of your pocket. Prius senses the fob in your pocket; just pull the door handle to open a locked door, and just push the Power button on the dashboard to start the car. If you have the SmartEntry Fob in your pocket and you walk away from the car while it is running, the car will beep at you a few times, and a yellow warning icon on the dash lights up: a picture of a key with an exclamation point over it. But the car keeps running. If the person with the fob stays away from the car, someone else can still get in and drive it since it is still running, but the warning light remains on. While the car is running (in park) it will not let you lock the car doors by pressing the electric door lock button by the arm rest while driver door is open. It is also not possible to lock the car from the outside be pressing the button on the door handle if you don’t have the fob on you. So
