High RPM at start up
My 2012 xc70 has a high RPM upon start up. Should I wait until it settles down before shifting into gear?

No, instantly in gear. It has the high revs to get the cat warmed up quicker. On a cold day, the cold start phase can take a rather long time. If you waited until that goes, you would wait on some days longer.
Volvo says to instantly start driving once the engine has been started and not leaving the engine to idle.
