What is the function of the Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) in a Ford Puma?

I recently purchased a Ford Puma and it has Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC). I am not sure how this feature works and would like to know its function and how it can improve my driving experience. Can someone please explain?

The purpose of the Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) in a Ford Puma is to automatically maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you while driving on highways and open roads.

The ACC uses radar sensors to detect the speed and distance of the vehicle in front of you, and adjusts your speed accordingly to maintain a safe following distance.

In addition to maintaining distance, the ACC also has the ability to come to a complete stop and resume driving when the vehicle in front of you starts moving again.
