OPINION

CONTRERAS, Presiding Judge.

The dispositive question in this appeal is whether the term “maintenance” in an automobile insurance policy includes the named insured’s act of providing a family member with the named insured’s insurance policy number so that the family member can register a vehicle that is not covered by the policy. We conclude that the meaning of the term “maintenance” does not include such an act. We therefore reverse the trial court’s grant of summary judgment in favor of appellees and remand with directions that summary judgment be entered for appellant.
