Law (general)
I am translating into Spanish a document of a person who has been arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol. One of the phrases in which you have to mark a box is HOLD FOR BOND HEARING. DO NOT BOND OUT. The first one could be translated as “guardar para la audiencia de fianza” or “presenter en la audiencia de fianza” but I am not that sure any more. Thanks again for your help

detención preventiva previa audiencia para fijar caución
The term BOND (fianza) in this context is a misnomer.
BAIL (caución) is set at a court hearing; BOND is posted after BAIL is set.
The defendant (alleged violator) appears before a bench officer (judge, commissioner, etcetera) who sets BAIL . The BOND is the method by which the defendant satisfies the BAIL imposed by the court.
In this instance, the defendant will not be released unless a BOND is posted, but this can't occur unless a BAIL hearing is carried out.
So the hearing is not to determine the BOND but to set the BAIL.

"...Release may be by way of a simple promise to appear, also known as being released O.R., or on one’s own recognizance. However, for more serious misdemeanors or felonies, or where the accused has a prior record, posting bail may be required to secure release...
"Once bail has been set, it may be posted in one of several ways: Cash bail; Government bonds or Real Property; or a Bail Bond. The last is the most widely used."

"When a person is arrested, he or she may have the opportunity to pay bail. This is a payment that the arrested person may be able to make to the court in order to leave jail until trial. The payment is a way that the court can help ensure that the accused will appear at any future court dates. In some cases, the amount of bail may be more than the accused can pay by him or herself. In these cases, bail bonds may be useful since they allow people to pay some percentage of their bail — often 10% — with a bail bonding agency putting up the rest. Courts typically refund the original bail amount if the accused shows up for all of his or her court dates. Since that amount goes to the agency that posted bail for the accused, in cases that go well, the agency gets its money back and keeps the percentage put up by the accused as its profit."
