Mine idles at around 600 as well, didn't figure it to be a problem since it's done that since the day I bought it with 30 miles on it.

Try cleaning your throttle body. From what I can tell, there is no adjustment, it's all handled by the ECU. I'll keep looking, though.

Well, this is what it says:
INSPECTION PROCEDURE 10: Idle Speed Is Low (Improper Idle Speed).


COMMENT
• In cases such as the above, the cause is probably that the intake air volume during idle is too small.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS (The most likely causes for this case: )
• Malfunction of the electronic control throttle valve system.
• Malfunction of the throttle body.
As I said before, try cleaning the throttle body. Over time, some gunk will build up in there, and the passage for idle air isn't very big. Come to think of it, I should probably at least pop off my intake tube and have a look at mine. I haven't cleaned mine in 48,000 miles. My idle's a tiny bit lower than I seem to remember it being when new.

550-600 idle is normal. 700-800 is normal when the A/C compressor is running. There's a sticker under the hood that states this.

Look for the aeresol can labeled something along the lines of Intake/Throttle body cleaner. The stuff is pretty easy to use, just follow the instructions on the can closely.
