Hey im just practicing inheritance and i encountered a problem. Im getting an error in my car class(sub-class) that the variables in Vehicle(parent) are not visible. i didnt do anything to change this and i dont even know how to make it invisible. Can anyone help me with this.

public class Vehicle 
{
    private String make, model, colour;
    private int registrationNumber;

    public Vehicle()
    {
        this.make = "";
        this.model = "";
        this.colour = "";
        this.registrationNumber = 0;


    }


    public Vehicle(String make, String model, String colour,
            int registrationNumber) 
    {
        this.make = make;
        this.model = model;
        this.colour = colour;
        this.registrationNumber = registrationNumber;
    }


    public String getMake() 
    {
        return make;
    }


    public void setMake(String make) 
    {
        this.make = make;
    }


    public String getModel() 
    {
        return model;
    }


    public void setModel(String model) 
    {
        this.model = model;
    }


    public String getColour() 
    {
        return colour;
    }


    public void setColour(String colour) 
    {
        this.colour = colour;
    }


    public int getRegistrationNumber() 
    {
        return registrationNumber;
    }


    public void setRegistrationNumber(int registrationNumber) 
    {
        this.registrationNumber = registrationNumber;
    }



    public String toString() 
    {
        return "Vehicle [make=" + make + ", model=" + model + ", colour="
                + colour + ", registrationNumber=" + registrationNumber + "]";
    }






}


public Car()
{
    super();
    this.doors = 0;
    this.shape = "";
}

public Car(int doors, String shape, String make, String model, String colour, int registrationNumber) 
{
    super();
    this.doors = doors;
    this.shape = shape;
    this.make = make;//Error
    this.model = model;//Error
    this.colour = colour;//Error
    this.registrationNumber = registrationNumber;//Error

}

The error message:
