Generally speaking, modern computer-controlled engines don't have any idle adjustments. It's all supposed to be controlled by the computer. If the engine won't idle properly, then there's something wrong and it needs to be checked out by a mechanic.

It is very likely there is no way to adjust the idle on your car. If your car is idling low, it's probably a problem somewhere else. Idle is likely controlled by the computer.
