Is canon EF 24-85mm F3.5-4.5 lens is compatible with canon eos 6D ? is it work fully automatic ?

Yes, that lens will work normally on the EOS 6D with all automatic functions intact. Any Canon lens labeled as "EF" will work on the 6D, but lenses labeled "EF-S" will have strong vignetting (darkening in the corners of the shot).

Actually... "EF-S" lenses will not even mount.  There's a lip on full-frame bodies designed to prevent EF-S lenses from being attached.  It's not just a question of heavy vignetting and severely degraded image quality at the edges of the frame -- there's a risk of the reflex mirror hitting the rear-most element on an EF-S lens (remember... full frame cameras require physically larger reflex mirrors).  

Any "EF" lens can be used.  Any "EF-S" lens must not be used (and will not fit).  Also, there are a few special purpose lenses such as the MP-E and TS-E lenses which will work with the 6D as well.

Tim is quite right. My mistake, sorry for the confusion.

Thanks Tim now I know the difference between "EF_S" and "EF"

A better question might be, why?  It isn't a great lens and if I remember correctly was introduced for film cameras. It is probably in line with some of the "kit" lenses of today.
