As a first-time MMI owner, I've never seen a radio work this way. Is it just constantly performing a station scan in the background to keep the station list up to date? Should I expect the list to automatically change as I drive between cities?

I'm surprised this functionality doesn't seem to really be covered in the manual, unless I'm missing it.
 
The stations will automatically change as you drive from area to area.
In my recent drive from Toronto to Ottawa, I didn't have to "scan" for radio stations. The stations that were available FM or AM would be displayed as I scroll.
It was such a relief to have it this way. Previous drives in our Mazda5 was painful, always looking for which stations are sending the strongest signals. Then 15 minutes later, that's gone because the signal strength diminished.
