I do not see any vehicle here in the USA market for your model year. Since it is 2005 there is no choke. I would recommend you disconnect the battery and remove the throttle body and clean it out to see if it resolves the issue. Here is a link on how to clean the throttle body:

After you clean it out, reconnect the battery. If you still have an issue with the high idle then I would suspect a faulty engine coolant temperature sensor.
