The system functions similar to a smart key, but with one or more antennas around the vehicle that detect the electronic ID of the fob when you come closer to it. This signals the receiver inside the car to deactivate the immobilizer, and send power to your starter circuit to start your engine.
When your engine is running, the system can be turned off by pressing and pressing the button. The same signal is also used to lock your doors so you don't have to worry about someone stealing your car or locking you out of your vehicle.
