    Can't go into Hold mode when you're running on gas. If the engine is running Hold will be greyed out.

    Right, that essentially what I just said. I find it odd though that the system can't just switch modes. If I'm holding a charge or building up charge in Mountain Mode then why can't it just switch to Holding the current charge in Hold mode? Why must I go back to Normal or Sport an then select Hold mode? Not talking about when the pack is depleted because clearly you can't "hold" a zero charge.
