The Idle on your car is controlled by the electronic control module, which regulates it electronically, typically through an idle air control valve installed on the throttle body, so there are no adjustments you could make.

I would recommend cleaning the Throttle body and any attached sensor with a good Throttle Body Cleaner, that you can pick up at any auto parts store, and read the directions on the can, it is very simple. If this does not fix the concern, you will need a new idle control valve
