Frequently Asked Questions
What body styles and trim levels does this manual cover for the Apollo?
The manual covers both sedan and wagon body styles across all trim grades offered during 1989–1992, including the base, Executive, and SLX variants in the JK (1989–1991) and JL (1991–1992) series.
Is the Holden Apollo the same vehicle as the Toyota Camry V20?
Yes. The first-generation Apollo is a badge-engineered Toyota Camry V20, sold through Holden dealers in Australia. The engineering, powertrains, and chassis are shared, meaning this manual is also highly relevant to the equivalent Toyota Camry V20 of the same period.
Does the manual include wiring diagrams for the 2VZ-FE V6?
Yes. Full electrical schematics are included for both engines, covering the engine management system, charging and starting circuits, HVAC controls, instrument cluster, lighting, power windows, and audio wiring with connector pinouts and wire color codes.

The manual is delivered as a PDF file available for instant download after purchase. It is fully searchable and compatible with any PDF reader on Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, or Android devices.
