Comfort seat functionality

I'm slowly working through all the functionality in my new car (2014 SL63 R231) & can't figure out how to save the lumber & side bolster settings;

Activate the menu
Select the seat (Driver)
Adjust the lumber support up & out using the dial & display menu - can't save, defaults back to no change
Adjust the side bolsters using the dial & display menu- can't save and defaults back to no change

I've tried with the ignition in 2 positions, engine on & off, can't find anything on YouTube

Any help, support would be awesome

Cheers

Tyrone

We have a 2014 SL550. When I get my seats adjusted through the system settings, then hit the memory button on the door they stay set where I put them. Not sure if the AMG has a different system.

I am unclear of the question. The door controls adjust position settings only.

The system settings (bolsters, lumbar, dynamic seats, etc.) are completely independent of the seat positions.

I have this same year and model. I make my adjustments then press and hold memory button on door while also secondly pushing and holding the 1,2 or 3 buttons. When you hear a tone ding it’s set. Hope this helps?
