I don't think the lens can have a setting for auto mode.
It's the camera that tells the lens to open or close when in auto mode based
on the level of light being processed.
Most camera have an adjustment for their Auto iris level that controls what
level the camera wants the lens just follows the control sent from the
camera.
That's also how cameras often offer the option in a menu to bump the auto
iris up or down a bit.
