You are mistaken.

Self-leveling is a standard feature of bi-xenon headlights required by law. This feature makes the headlights swing in up-down direction. It is always active, i.e. it works regardless of whether the headlight switch is set to "auto" or not.

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.
