1. Turn on the Radio: Press the 'Power' or 'Audio' button on the center console to turn on your C300's radio.
2. Switch to FM or AM Band: Ensure your radio is tuned to the FM or AM band you want to scan. You can do this by pressing the 'FM/AM' button on your audio console.
3. Activate Scan Mode: Look for the 'Scan' or 'Seek' button on your audio controls. It may be labeled with an icon representing an arrow or antenna. Press and hold this button for a few seconds to activate scan mode.
4. Automatic Scanning: Once you've activated scan mode, the radio will automatically begin searching for available stations in your selected band. It will briefly tune in to each station it finds to allow you to preview it.
5. Saving a Station: If you hear a station you want to save, you can press the 'Preset' or 'Memory' button followed by a numbered button (1-6) on the audio controls to store it as a preset. You can save multiple presets for easy access later on.
6. Scan Duration: The scan mode will continue to search for stations until you press the 'Scan' button again or change the audio source.
7. Manual Tuning (Optional): If you prefer manual tuning, you can use the tuning knob or the up and down arrow buttons on your audio controls to adjust the radio frequency until you find the desired station.
8. Repeat Steps: You can repeat steps 3 and 4 to continue scanning and adding more stations to your presets.
Remember that the radio presets, scanning behaviors, and audio control layouts can vary based on the specific features of your 2008 C300 model, so it's always a good idea to refer to your vehicle's owner's manual or the manufacturer's guide for specific instructions.
