Not only that but ABS comes in real handy when driving on loose gravel.

Here note that Swift doesn't have all disk brakes. It has disk breaks only on front tyres.

Like suman said the ABS indicator should come on.
Alternately you can always visit the showroom and ask for clarification. (Eg. If you are buying second hand WagonR visiting Maruti showroom will give you details of various features available for different trims)
