I assume you are referring to 50e since you mentioned battery hold. If so, then you can’t set it to any percentage. As mentioned above, 50e will maintain the battery at the current charge level when the battery hold mode is turned on. So, if you turn it on when the battery is fully charged, the car will keep charging the battery once it detects that the battery is getting discharged. Both 45e and 50e are hybrids and there is no way to force them to use ICE only as the high voltage battery is used for the HVAC functions as well for e-boost when you step on the gas.
