Don't do it though w/o reading threads here until finding about pry-bar tightening damage.



(Maybe all the new ones are set perfect. But the manual instructions want a tensiometer and I don't see how you can use one w/ the engine in the car...so I think they get overtensioned in servicing)

The Yaris doesn't have a belt tensioner, that's why.
The mazda2 aka Yaris Sedan has an automatic belt tensioner, so there is nothing to adjust.
