What happens if key fob battery dies?

I thought of this last week;

I have an 08 Clubman but I assume the entry systems are similar on other models.

You don't need to even take the fob/key combo out of your pocket and you can operate everything in the vehicle. This is presumably due to the car "sensing" that the fob is "near" and enabling itself. Well, then what happens if the battery in the fob dies?

- You can still get in the car with the physical key, but the car itself does NOT have any sort of "manual" start
