Front seat configurations

I'm slowly working through all the functionality in my new car (2014 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 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
