Default How to turn on automatic high beams

Excuse my ignorance, I’m not a car person.
i have a 2020 IS 300 and when I live in a wooded area.... the high beams used to automatically come on when I was in really dark areas.. now it doesn’t do that anymore. I must have turned it off.
someone know how to turn It back on?

thanks

On the dashboard to the left of the steering wheel you’ll see a cluster of buttons. The first one, top row, is typically an image of a lamp with auto written under it. That should be the button for turning off/on your auto high beams.

When the low beams are on (either manually or set to Automatic in the dark) you will see the Green Lantern Icon.
When you traditionally select the High Beams by pushing the stalk away you will see the Blue High Beam Icon.
When you select the dash button Racer00J referred to you should see a second Green High Beam Auto Icon.
Some Lexi AHB systems need both the dash button pressed AND the turn signal stalk pressed away, some only need the button press.

Note: Auto High Beam (and BSM) have a 15 MPH threshold, below that speed the High Beams and BSM warnings go off.
