Remembering last settings question?

Is there any way to have the car remember my last settings for the ambient lighting selection or the digital instrument cluster. My car switches back from multi color ambient lighting to the mono chrome; and the background color choice on the instrument dials (Understated Selection) switches as well. Thanks.

My 2021 S580 remembers both each time I restart my car. Both the ambient lighting and the dash screen type appear the same as when I last drove the car.

Do you have a user profile that perhaps was setup with those two options? Could you have a user profile that had those options, but sometimes you start the car and that choose a profile, and sometimes you just let it pass without choosing a profile?

Thank you. I have a user profile. I will try to make sure I choose my user profile when I start my car to see if it helps.

I figured out the primary issue why my ambient lighting is constantly changing. If I select the Understated gauge cluster there is an accompanying color scheme. When I select the gauge cluster color scheme the ambient lighting is automatically switched to the monochrome color to match the color scheme I selected for the Understated gauge cluster.
