Question AFS control location

I have a 2013 Lexus GS 350 equipped with the "Luxury Package with Cold Weather Package". I'm unable to locate the AFS control button which is referenced in the manual. In the manual's diagram it appears to be located in the lower right driver's knee area near the parking brake control mechanisms. Am I looking in the right location?

If the button is located near the tire pressure monitoring button, try poking your head in the driver's footwell area.

There should be a couple buttons right above the brake pedal. Bring a flashlight.

I took a second look. Here is what I see:

Keep going lower.

The switch is parallel to the floor/street.

Put your entire head in the driver footwell!

It turns off the "steering" function of the AFS headlights, presumably so you can continue to drive if the system goes crazy or something.

You can check this video out which shows the 'hidden' buttons (Middle East-spec Lexus GS F Sport)

Does pressing the afs button reset it? I want to check this out before I start adjusting the headlight.
