Whats the different between Zebra crossing 100% and 105%?

I'm not certain what to set my Panasonic G7 to when it comes to the Zebra crossing setting as I can't see the difference between 100% and 105%.

All I want the camera to do is to notify me when anything is over exposured in the scene.

If you shoot JPEG set it to 100%. If you shoot raw there will be a bit more headroom even at 105%.
