I've noticed 2 kinds of Yaris belt squeal. There is the short one right on start up. Which believe it or not seems to be cured by turning the key slower in the ignition.

I had an issue on mine where the Dayco belt on which was replaced the OEM one when the alternator died at about 9 years/90,000 miles. It started squealing in the mornings while i was driving, it would shut up when the car warmed up a bit. It had been on for less than 18 months when it started! Adjustments either way didn't shut it up so i changed it for a Chinesium "Blue Point" belt that has been fine for coming up on 2 years/40,000 miles. Even though its actually a little loose compared to what it should be at the moment. If it squeals on a cold morning i can always tighten it.
