Class Reference to Other Class does not allow me to use its Methods

Question

This is "Weapon" class.

 public class Weapon : MonoBehaviour
 {
     [SerializeField] protected Mode PrimaryMode;
     [SerializeField] protected Mode SecondaryMode;
 
     [...]
 
     private void Update()
     {
         if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Q))
         {
             Debug.Log(PrimaryMode);
             PrimaryMode.useMode();
         }
     }
 }

This is "Mode" Abstract Class

 public abstract class Mode : MonoBehaviour
 {
     [SerializeField]
     protected int Type;
 
     [...]
 
     public void useMode() { }
 }

This is "FireMode" Subclass

 public class FireMode : Mode
 {
     [...]
 
     public new void useMode()
     {
         Debug.Log("HERE !");
     }
 }

Now this is the situation: if I hit "Q", the console reports "

Weapon 1 (FireMode) UnityEngine.Debug:Log(Object) Weapon:Update() (at Assets/_MyScripts/_XXX/Weapon.cs:25)

So you see the problem: Unity knows I'm referring to a FireMode class script, but it refuses to let me use "useMode()" Method of that class.

Yes, it works now. Thank you.

I had to set "useMode" of Mode class abstract, also I had to add the keywork Override to "useMode" methods of subclasses.
