I would look at getting some new tires, or easing up on the throttle. There shouldn't be any reason traction should be a huge issue on the Yaris, the 1.5L definitely isn't a power house.

Ice is ice though, unless you're running studs tires are going to slip.

I doubt the little Yaris has Limited slip diff, not sure if anyone makes one... Never looked.

There's a limited slip diff available on Micro image.

I agree on the tires, better tires will often make a world of difference. It could also be your driving style.
But ice is ice, you're probably not going to get much grip on ice unless you have tires meant to go on ice.
