They're fine... just tuck them back in the wires are used to maintain the battery/vehicle memory in transport. It's normal not to have them connected to anything. Just tuck them up and out of the way.

Tuck them back for free or let the dealer do it for US$95

My guess is that it's a pre-wiring for the seat heaters, but I dunno.
Looks to me like too much of a lightweight cable for seat heating. Not sure what power is required for the heating elements.
A couple of megabutts maybe?
