The feature that depends on "auto" setting is called adaptive headlights. It is the feature that makes your headlights swing in left-right direction to follow the direction of steering wheel when you turn it.
Judging by your descritption, you are indeed talking about self-leveling functionality. It that case forget about "auto". Self-leveling must work in all modes.

A note:
The "Auto" setting also turns the lowbeams on and off automatically at dusk-dawn-tunnels on cars with halogen or xenones without the adaptive option.
But you ARE correct in the selfleveling. Even with the lightswitch in 0, a xenon equipped car will move the projectors up and down on startup
Sorry, just making that extra clear,
