The AB does not have auto slat but does have a alpha/speed slat lock system to protect the aircraft against high alpha. If the Flaps/Slats are selected to Zero (up) from Flap 1 position and the alpha is greater than 8 or the speed less than 165, the slats will not retract until certain values are reached. Sort of Auto slat but the other way round.
