I just purchased an 07 mercury mountaineer that is a corporate fleet lease vehicle, the sticker says it has 17 inch tires, but it has 16 inch tires, is this a problem?

The stock wheel and tire is ;
wheel - 17 x 6.5 inches
TIRE - 225 60 17 702 mm diameter
If you wanted a 235 60 17 that would be ok but the tire diameter is larger by a small margin.
If you are reducing wheel size with 16 inch wheels in order to fit the 16 inch tires mentioned in your question you better make sure that the smaller diameter wheel will clear the brakes front and rear.
For a 235 tire the wheel width will need to be 6.5 inches minimum.
So if you go with ...............
wheel- 16 x 6.5 or 16 x 7 inch
TIRE - 235 60 16(as in your question)- 688 mm diameter
Provided the 16 inch wheel clears the brakes that would be OK but that tire is slightly smaller in diameter than stock but within an acceptable margin.
Make sure whatever tire you select that the tire load rating is not less than the stock tire and not less than the tire load rating stipulated by General Motors for that vehicle..
No, you sould stay with the recommed size for your vehicle. The 16" is the rim size. If you want a bigger tires and wheels you need to change your rims to 17". If you want good tires you want to look for something with a good rating.The original size for the vehicle is calibrated for speedometer and the ABS of your vehicle and so is you gear ratio in the trans and front and rear differential.
The keyless entry module is located in the rear of the vehicle on the driver's side. You will need to partially remove the left rear panel in the cargo area. You will then see the keyless entry module bolted behind a metal reinforcement bar. There is a sticker on the module that has the 5 digit entry code.
