The 2010 Toyota Yaris is designed with a timing chain, which has been a feature of the Yaris models since 2007. This switch to a timing chain was likely motivated by the fact that chains are low-maintenance compared to belts. Unlike belts that need periodic replacement, the chain is durable and should last for the entire lifespan of the vehicle. Positioned internally in the engine, the chain is shielded from external elements that could affect a belt. Although the chain is built to be long-lasting, it is recommended to inspect it every 150,000 miles to ensure proper tension and functioning.
