Lincoln MKT 2017 Owner's Manual page 215

The system applies the brakes to slow your
vehicle to maintain a safe gap distance from
the vehicle in front. The brake lamps
automatically turn on when the system
applies the brakes. The maximum braking
which the system applies is limited. You can
override the system by applying the brakes.
If the system determines that its maximum
braking level will not be sufficient, an audible
warning sounds when the system continues
to brake. A red warning bar displays on the
windshield and you must take immediate
action.
Note: When you are following a vehicle and
you switch on a direction indicator, adaptive
cruise control may provide a small temporary
acceleration to help you pass.

therefore the distance automatically adjusts
with your vehicle speed.
