Those are the wires underneath your rear seats right? I took out my rear seat once and I saw those too. I guessed that they were either the sensor to tell you that someone is in the seat and needs to put on their seat belt, or they are the prewiring for heated/ventilated seats. Just a guess though.

My first guess was the seat heater.

Probably a pre-wiring.
In any case, your question was if they're supposed to be out there, and the answert is NO.
So you can pull the rears setas up and look what they're for and put them away, or let your dealer do it.
