That's the auto high beams, not auto leveling. There is no interior switch for leveling. They do it automatically every time you start the car. If you want to adjust it further, then you do it the old school way under the hood.

Does Any GS have auto levelling for the low beams or everything is old schools with screws only like my old car from 1980s?
Where was the button how it looks like?

What does this missing button do since i dont have it only switch high and low beam based on what some camera or ?
What other features are linked to that button which i may be missing.

All GSs have auto leveling. There is no switch for it. Like I said above, if you want to level them beyond what the automatic system does, you need to get under the hood to do it.

The switch you posted a picture of is the auto high beams. It will turn the high beams on automatically, and automatically set them back to the low beams when the camera sees oncoming traffic. There are no other features tied to that switch.

How that switch operates, how it figures out when needs to turn them on and off?
Whats the logic behind this, is it with camera, some sensor or ?

With the auto switch selected, you put the left stalk/headlight lever forward in the high beam position. From there on, it uses the camera to detect oncoming traffic or taillights. With no cars in front of you, it puts the headlights in high beam. If the camera detects other cars, it puts them back in low beams.
